This will be a great reference for those wishing to teach or learn about mimicry, with lots of examples of mimicry rings from India and other tropical countries.

A wonderful natural phenomenon not to be missed!
12 ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೊಮ್ಮೆ ಅರಳುವ ನೀಲಕುರಂಜಿ (ಸ್ಟ್ರೋಬಿಲಾಂತಸ್ ಕುಂಠಿಯಾನ) ಸಸ್ಯವು ಅರಳುವುದು ಕೊಡಗಿನ ಪುಷ್ಪಗಿರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮಂಡಲಪಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣಬಹುದು. ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಅದ್ಭುತ ದೃಶ್ಯ!
