This I photographed in my Chiang Mai city garden, 4 Dec 22. In 7 years of observing butterflies in the garden I have not to date ever seen a Nacaduba species.
I am undecided whether this is N. kurava or N. berenice.
Both occur in the region though the later is much scarcer.
Help with ID please. Many thanks.
