Dr. Seow ,

This shot was taken by Jit-Leang Foo in Singapore.

Using the VID keys for the 4 Sixline Blue that I am currently generating pending validation I have narrowed it down to possibly a male Transparent Sixline Blue ( Nacaduba kurava nemara).

For your opinion please ! :)

HW base darkened here but not FW base.
