Spotted Small Flat Sarangesa purendra

Hesperiidae butterflies—skippers—have a reputation for being the daredevils of the butterfly world, and this species lives up to the family name. Distinctive white spots dotting its wings make it easier to identify than many of its speedy relatives. Skippers get their name from their characteristic flight: erratic, rapid movements that look less like floating and more like bouncing through the landscape. These spots aren't just pretty—they're crucial field marks for separating it from dozens of other small flatwings.
