Seow, can you give your opinion on this Nacaduba? :) Is this typical berenice?

It is N. berenice.
The wings are squashed between forewing apex & hingwing tornus distorting all the submarginal spots.
The large submarginal spot 6 on the hindwing would normally suggest N. kurava but the forewing submarginal spots should be band-like with the inner margins rounded or scallopped.
Here, the forewing submarginal spots are irregular with the inner margins ragged, that of spots 4 & 5 pointed.

In the normal perspective the appearance would be that of N. berenice.

Thanks, Seow. Yes, the perspective of the shot got me confused too. Appreciate the confirmation. :thumbsup:
