Ariadne merione
Their wingspan ranges between 30–35mm. Like others in the Nymphalidae family, their front two legs are small and unused, effectively making them four-legged. These smaller appendages are covered with long hairs, giving them the characteristic brush look.
rainforest, south-eastern Asia
Another butterfly that landed on my backpack. Nam Nao national park.
Thanks Harsha for the ID. I thought this butterfly looked familiar. I had also spotted it in Vietnam http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/104..., but I saw so many butterflies, it was hard to keep track of them all.
