Noted Agnes! Thanks! :-)
This is the female of the species, common name is Great Eggfly. Teacher Marie, you may want to also check this site - http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/phil.... We would love to have this spotting (and your other butterfly spotting) in our mission - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1555... (Butterflies in the Philippines). Pls join :)
Thanks for the link suggestion! @ martinl
This is a variable butterfly so you need to be very careful selecting an ID. My suggestion is tentative. I do love the blue reflection ob the wing tips.
