    Default anthene ???

    Found this today, pardon the heavily cropped shot.

    What is it??? At first I thought it was a nacaduba sp from the distance but this shot shows clearly it is an anthene species. is this a simple case of aberration or is this something new?

    It is Anthene emolus & the markings are correct.

    Yup, all the characteristic markings are there. This is the Ciliate Blue as Seow pointed out.
