African straight swift butterfly | Parnara bada

Hello everyone, good afternoon wherever you are, how are you this afternoon? Hope you are fine wherever you are.

I"m back here again and on this occasion I want to show you some beautiful shots of the African straight swift butterfly. In Latin, this butterfly is known as Parnara bada, which comes from the Hesperiidae family. This butterfly is one of the butterflies that is easy to find, especially in tropical regions.

And this butterfly is also a butterfly that has unique characteristics. The front wings are triangular in shape, while the hind wings are wider. Distinctive characteristics that other butterflies do not have. The shape reminds me of a fighter plane, although it's not one hundred percent similar, but at first glance the way it stands does resemble a fighter plane landing.

Apart from that, their flying techniques also resembled fighter planes, they flew at extremely sharp speeds. And these butterflies also don't fly high, they fly as high as the plants where they stop or eat. This butterfly likes open places such as parks, meadows and so on. They are often in safe places looking for food and also as a place to breed.
