  Thanks, Ferdy :)
  Was very happy to see and get decent pic of this one as when I first saw it flying around, my friend told me no chance to take a pic of it, typical of most bigger sized butterflies flying around in the jungle. And this one then rested on a tree at around 2.5 meters height on a slope and there was a big rock next to it that I could climb on to get a face level with it :D Posted 6 years ago

    Nice! In my experience, indeed the bigger the butterfly, the more nervous, at least during the day. Posted 6 years ago
