Sorry to worry you jazz.man! I have a difficult exam to face by the beginning of next year (around February or March) so I sometimes stop photography stuff to focus on my studies. I am doing very well here, even though the country's situation is not a very good one. Thank you for your concern! Hope you're doing fine too...

Hi Rithmini: good to see you back here again. I was getting worried if you were OK since you have been absent for a while:)

Your welcome SukanyaDatta!

Very similar to Hamadryas feronia, but unfortunately ... this species is not marked in the UK.

Thank you, Rithmini Dinhara...the butterfly now has a name because of you. Many thanks.

Sorry I couldn't pinpoint the species
