Thosea sp.
I agree with the point that many parts of the world especially the tropics are not usually seen, or not studied. The genus Thosea have many species, and all look very similar, which means that you cannot identify them properly without dissecting and looking at the genitalia. In Asia there could be many species of Thosea that are not found or described of yet. I have kept it as Thosea sp., because I don't want the identification to be wrong, and lead to a wrong references to others using it.

Ornithoptera80,
Thanks.
South Vietnam, where I live, does not have any species named on the world distribution map.!!!
Thosea sinensis is not found in southern Vietnam, but in the Central and Northern parts of the country.
