Talicada nyseus, the Blue Pierrot, is a small butterfly species found in tropical Asia, including India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. Its wingspan measures 20-30 mm. The upper wings are pale blue with dark brown edges and white spots, while the lower wings display pale blue with dark brown veins.

This butterfly inhabits open grasslands, savannahs, and forest edges. Active during warm weather, they feed on nectar from flowers. Males engage in territorial battles, while females lay eggs on host plants, typically grasses and legumes.

The life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. Caterpillars feed on specific plants.
