Location Bandung, along side small stream, altitude 1000m paddy fields and sparse trees.

I have never been able to find an exact ID for this one. Not a butterfly that I see very often, and this is the first time that I have managed a decent image. Do any of you have any ideas.

Tanaecia trigerta comes very close, but the variations on the web cancel out a positive ID.

It is the female of the Javanese subspecies of Euthalia monina.

The subspecies in Java are often quite different from the rest of SE Asia.

TL Seow: Cheers.

Oh yes, that is a match. Thankyou so much for helping me.

I was actually in that site, but missed it. I wish it was laid out better, like the circle.
