The Tawny Coster Butterfly (Acraea terpsicore) visits the nectar-rich flowers of the Day Blooming Jasmine (Cestrum diurnum) in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 26, 2026. The butterfly, with a wingspan of 53–64 mm, has bright tawny-orange wings with black spots and a distinct black border. The Day Blooming Jasmine is an evergreen shrub that grows 6 to 8 feet tall and produces fragrant white flowers in sunlight. Global warming is drastically altering India's butterfly populations, and rising temperatures are reducing the nutritional quality of flower nectar.
