Euthalia sp.
Black moth like butterfly. About 10 cm in wingspan. First it just looked brown black and only on the pictures the blue became noticeble.
Our garden Phuket Thailand.
We had lots of caterpillars around a few weeks ago and I am still hoing to connect them with one of the butterflies in our garden. Anyone an idea please look at my sottings ( talking about the beatle catterpillar) Could it be this one?
Poor guy looks pretty worn. It is not a Blue, but a Nymphalidae. Might be Euthalia sp., and Euthalia monina, the male. You have to verify!! I am not sure about this one. ID is tricky in such old guys...
