A plant with multiple thin vertical hairy stalks. Some of the stalks are green, while others are brown. Two species of butterflies are feeding on the plant: the Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus) at the top and bottom left, the Black-veined Tiger (Danaus melanippus) at the left and bottom right. Both butterflies are coloured like the Monarch butterfly. But the Plain Tiger does not have dark stripes on the wings, while the Black-veined Tiger has strong dark stripes on the wings.
