Travancore evening brown  (Parantirrhoea marshalli)

Afforestation: The establishment of forest by natural succession or by the planting of trees on land where they did not grow formerly.
Crepuscular: Active at twilight and/or just before sunrise.
Endemic: A species or taxonomic group that is only found in one particular country or geographic area.
Larva: Stage in an animal's lifecycle after it hatches from the egg. Larvae are typically very different in appearance to adults; they are able to feed and move around but usually are unable to reproduce.
Pupa: An inactive stage in an insect's development when reorganisation takes place to create the adult form from the larval form. In butterflies the pupa is also called a chrysalis.
Pupation: The process of becoming a pupa, the stage of an insect's development, when huge changes occur that reorganise the larval form into the adult form. In butterflies the pupa is also called a chrysalis.
