I find the combination of species under the subfamily Apaturinae is very interesting, the courtesans together with the emperors, princes and courtier
Euripus nyctelius nyctelius (Courtesan)
This is another species that I haven't got a chance to see in Singapore, I believe it was a couple of years ago when someone sighted and shot one?
During our stay at Chiangmai, I encountered at least one each day. I was extra happy when 2 of them appeared on our 2nd visit to Chiangdao!
Mimathyma ambica (Indian Purple Emperor)
The iridescent blue that appears at different angles is just amazing!
Rohana parvata (Brown Prince)
Rohana parisatis (Black Prince)
