Hello Viv
In Butterflies of Thailand Angled Castor is not listed for peninsular Thailand
I will post a photo of Angled Castor taken in Chonburi.

@ Lenny I've just come across a photo of the Angled Castor in the ButterflyCircle Checklist and looks more like this one than the Common Castor. Their image has white spots on the wings - http://www.butterflycircle.com/checklist...

I only recognized it because I've seen the Angled Castor up here in Chaiyaphum which apparantly dos'nt occur in the peninsular. but is similar.The white spots gave it away.
