Catonephele numilia esite

Description:

Female, dark brown/black butterfly with a white stripe and series of blue slashes on each wing pair - male http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/826...

Habitat:

This one was in a butterfly garden, however, we saw them flying free all over the country.

Notes:

Tropical butterflies seem even more reluctant too land than the ones in more temperate climates and I got only a few spottings outside the garden.

Thank you, and I am about to post another spotting of two butterflies mating which must be the same species
