The Blue Admiral, is a nymphalid butterfly, the only species of the genus Kaniska. It is found in south and southeast Asia.                                                                         Description:
The Blue Admiral never feeds on flowers and entirely depends on overripe fruits and tree sap. It flies quickly and very low in open spaces especially along waterways and goes up in forests for food and to lay eggs. It basks with fully opened wings in the morning. Afterwards, it settles with closed wings on the ground or on tree trunks with mosses and lichens. Males use the ‘wait and see method’ to find their mates
