TL Seow: Cheers.

Thanks Mr Seow for identification, but I still concern about using "blue" a key for identification. Is it affect by sunshine or position of photographer to butterfly? Do we have another key?

Thanks,
Hanh

Colour in photos varies a alot so it is irrelevant whether it is blue or blue-grey.
The shape & arrangement of the markings between Ideopsis & Parantica are different.
