Chestnut Bob (Iambrix Salsala) - Animal India
The Chestnut Bob (Iambrix salsala) is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae, found in parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, North Vietnam, Hainan, Hong Kong, South Yunnan, Langkawi, Malaysia, Singapore, Tioman, Sumatra, and Java, along the Himalayas from Kumaon to Myanmar. Males and females are dark brown with an olive-brown gloss. On the upperside, the forewing has two or three ill-defined yellowish or semi-transparent white spots ascending obliquely from beyond the middle of the posterior margin. Although its flight is jerky, it basks in the morning by keeping its hindwing spread flat and its forewing perpendicular. They feed on flowers or herbs among grasses. A small bright dark brown Chestnut Bob butterfly with an olive-brown gloss sits on a weed leaf in the forest, occasionally flies away, and sits there again in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 6, 2024.
