This triped tiger (Danaus genutia) had obviously had a tough life, one of his antenae is missing.
This butterfly is called Striped Tiger as it has striped markings on both sides of wings. The black stripes on its orange wings help to identify this species from the Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus), its close relative. Its wingspan is 75-95 m.m. Its head is black with tiny white markings. It has black and white wing-tips and the edges of wings are spotted with black and white. It has a pair of black feelers in front of its head. Its body is divided into three main divisions - head, thorax and abdomen. The Striped Tiger is migratory in nature. It migrates locally in India. It is often seen with other butterflies in large numbers during migratory flights. It likes busking in the sun spreading its wings during the winter. It flies from flower to flower in search of food.

Hi, Anoop. Here, an attempt to add some sharpness to your very nice picture.

I used the unsharp mask, on Photoshop CS2. Before apllying USM, I conveted to Lab-color (Ctrl+1). Then, to aplly USM, I chose 300 - 0,8 - 0. Finally, I converted the picture back to RGB, by clicking on "Channels", which is on the left of the interface.

I hope this can be useful.

Best regards.
