Malabar Banded Peacock

Photo take at Irupu falls,Madikeri,Karnataka,India

  1. It is in bad shape - it took me a while to realise that a part of the wing is missing and the blue spot is from the upper side of the other wing. This is either a Malabar Banded Peacock (Papilio buddha) or a Common Banded Peacock (Papilio crino).

  2. Broken as it is, still very well captured. The bright blue and green look remarkable. Posted 11 years ago
