Ypthima stellera stellera
A tiny butterfly, about 11mm in length (resting position). Spotted on a sweet potato leaf.
Backyard.
Dec1, 2012 update: I had to change the ID from Y. baldus (Common Five-ring) to Ypthima stellera stellera since the latter is more prevalent in Luzon and the country, while Y. baldus mostly ocurs in Palawan. Related spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/161....

Thanks Adarsha! :)
Thanks Jolly. Yes, it is paler than the ones I've seen before, almost pinkish already.
Nice one Agnes. Never have seen one with this coloration.
So lovely!
