    1. Pelopidas mathias female.
    Typical with grey & dark shadings.

    Hi Doctor Seow,

    Im looking through my Malaysia Lexias photo, and realise i completely forgotten that Lexias cyanipardus existed. I noted the the female is spotted with bluish white above, and is amazingly big compared to lexias in Singapore. Would like to hear your thoughts
