This was clicked near Mulshi dam near Pune, Maharashtra in November 2024.
There are 2 sets of pics, both individuals pretty close to each other.
Seems to be some Tricholepis. Are both of them T. amplexicaulis
Requested to please provide ID.

Second set
4 high res. images.


I guess the ID is correct.


I assume both sets are T. amplexicaulis.
