This butterfly comes in a classy pale indigo blue with wavy hindwings. Females have a black striped forewing with at least four or more orange colored eyes at the tail while males only have about two orange eyes and their whole body is indigo blue. The underside is dark with distinct gray stripes. You can even notice a tail forming at end. These guys are seen in swarms and moist banks of river. They are especially fond of thistles and reach these flower in a slow and tumbling flight.
