Precis archesia (Winter form)
Saw movement in the garden and it was this beautiful butterfly. What was more amazing was that it allowed me to take photos from very near without flying off!

Beautiful! And it's always great to have a cooperative model!
Beautiful !
Thanks Keith, you're right. I used the wrong name.
A beautiful specimen. How rare and wonderful that it allowed you to take pictures of both the upper and lower side of the wings. But take a look at Garden inspector - Precis archesia. It looks like a better fit.
