Polyura nepenthes
large, leaf-wing butterfly
rainforest mixed with grasslands.
I spotted this in Thung Salaeng Luang National Park. I was hanging out for a while on some rocks in a very shallow river. There were tons of butterflies around. Just as I was getting ready to leave, this beauty landed on my backpack and didn't budge as I got really close.
