Cupha arias arias
Nymphalidae; Nymphalinae; Heliconiini; Cupha arias arias C.& R. Felder 1867. The ventral view when wings are in the resting position, shows almost exactly the same colours and markings as the dorsal, but greatly faded.
This Rustic was spotted on roadside foliage in a quiet area well away from houses and people. The road is on a steep slope at about 200 ft. elevation. I have always seen many butterflies (and other creatures) there. So it has become one of my favourite places to spot some more specimens to photograph.
