      Tawny Coster laying an egg on Common Mallow: wonderful sighting… and fotos… how far were you, or was the mother so intent that your lens etc did Beautiful photographs of the butterfly … I have seen the caterpillars on the leaves of Passiflora foetida. This was photographed using the full – zoom as taught to me by my friend .. who is professional photographer. This helps the subject stand out [while adequately blurring the background] and at the same time not disturbing the subject. Nice fotos, looking forward the the next series of the cat and that of butterflies.
Malvaceae Week: Wild lady finger: Most probably Thespesia lampas. This is the Common Mallow [Thespesia lampas / Azanza lampas]. Please check this link for my photogrpahs of the Wild Ladies’ Fingers [Abelmoschus manihot] for comparison :       Malvaceae week :: Thespesia lampas:

Is this Azanza lampas? Yes. It is Azana lampas. Grows wildly during monsoon everywhere. Alongside the railway-tracks in Mumbai you can see Azana lampas bloomed abundantly. In marathi it is called “रानभेंड” as the flower resembles Ladies finger (भेंडी) flower.
This photo graph of a shrub flowering……A malvaceae member…Don’t know the name.(From old collection)
In fact this picture looks more like a Mysore Mallow (Decaschistia trilobata) (earlier reported by … for a western ghat plant)!
This looks like Thespesia lampas to me.
