And a short video capturing this beauty puddling. If you increase the speaker volume, you may pick up a tip or two on technique of shooting butterfly :)

Because of poor connectivity I didn't manage to see the pic earlier,but presumed it was the Malayan Batwing.
Now that the pic is visible, it is the male 'Common Batwing' Atrophaneura varuna varuna. (common in Thailand).
The HW margin is scalloped ; there is a whitish area on the FW tornus; abdomen with red marks.


TL Seow: Cheers

Agree with Seow on the Batwing.

Also in post #50, the Map is Cyrestis maenalis martini (no idea of common name!), the montane specialist.

Even further, be prepared to change the Celaenorrhinus aurivittatus cameroni to Celaenorrhinus cameroni. There was a recent paper which outlined the reasons for the upgrade to specific status, but I have not read it though I believe there is some slight sympatry in Vietnam between C. aurivittatus aurivittatus and cameroni. I am keeping the old name for the time being on my site, whilst noting the possible change (too lazy to do any more about it at the moment!).

Testing new watermark... please tell me if you can see them, other than the lower left© Sunny Chir :)
