Blue Jay's butterflies Dec 2011/2012

[Blue Jay]

beautiful picture of the bluebottle!

love the texture of the wings and the background.

Thanks Lemon for the compliment

You can see from the hindwing & forewing spots it is a Palm Dart,Telicota.
The forewing shape & whitish abdomen indicates a female.

You can ruled out T. linna female (hindwing veins not darkened) & T. colon female (forewing spot4 & 5 oddly shaped or split)

There is not enough dark shading to suggest T. ohara.

In T. besta female the hindwing underside is strongly greenish dull yellow/ochre.

It is the female of T. augias.
