Under the hot hot noon sun, I ran into this butt which appeared to me as a very worn Flash spp. and after a couple of shots, I switched attention to other butts in the area. However, when I looked more closely at the pics on my home PC's LCD, I then realised that it has two pairs of tails, and light green eyes. Do you agree that this is Chocolate Royal? If so, it would be my record shot of this species.

Yes, that's a Chocolate Royal. The green markings on the tornal area of the hindwings and the four tails help to confirm the ID. :cheers:

Thanks, Khew for the confirmation. Hopefully a more pristine specimen comes my way soon.
