Striated Satyr and other Himalayan butterflies feed on yellow Dahlias

The Common Three Ring (Ypthima asterope), Indian Tortoiseshell (Aglais caschmirensis), and Striated Satyr (Aulocera saraswati) gather to feed on vibrant yellow Dahlia flowers in the Himalayas. The Common Three Ring is a widespread grassland butterfly recognized by the distinctive ringed eyespots on its wings, which help deter predators. It is commonly found in open habitats, forest edges, and agricultural landscapes across South Asia, where it feeds on flower nectar and moisture from damp ground. The Indian Tortoiseshell is a striking mountain butterfly with bright orange wings patterned with black markings and blue spots. Found throughout the Himalayan region, it thrives in temperate forests and high-altitude valleys, often visiting flowering plants for nectar during sunny weather. The Striated Satyr is a Himalayan mountain butterfly found in open slopes, meadows, and forest clearings at moderate to high elevations. Its brown wings are marked with distinctive pale striations and eye-spots that help camouflage it among grasses and rocky terrain. Like many satyr butterflies, it frequently basks in sunlight and visits flowers for nectar during warm weather. Together, these butterflies showcase the remarkable diversity of Himalayan pollinators and the important role flowering plants such as dahlias play in supporting insect life. #butterfly #butterflies #commonthreering #ypthimaasterope #indiantortoiseshell #aglaiscaschmirensis #easternrockgrayling #pseudochazaralehana #pollinator #dahlia #wildflowers #himalayas #mountainwildlife #insects #nature #wildlife #biodiversity #conservation #wildfilmsindia #butterflywatching Ypthima butterfly, ringlet butterfly, Satyrinae species, common four ring, common five ring, butterfly feeding nectar, dahlia flower insect, brown butterfly India, ocelli wing pattern, garden butterfly species This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
