COMMON REDEYE

The common redeye Matapa aria,as the name suggests is a common skipper here,especially where its larval hostplants, which are anykind of Bamboobs, are plenty.Femles are seen more active in dawn and dusk mostly around hostplants. The eggs are small and when laid are covered with abdominal hairs.The spiral cell of the yellow-headed larva is characteristic.
