Hi Shara. Would you have other picture of this butterfly? This upperwing view also looks like a Red Lacewing (Cethosia bilbis) - http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/15179. This species also occur in your area: subspecies liacura (Central & Western Mindanao) or subspecies placito (Eastern Mindanao). Cethosia luzonica magindanica also occurs in Mindanao. Thanks.

Hi Shara. Cethosia cyane is not recorded as occurring in the Philippines. Similar species with Philippine distribution is Cethosia luzonica. Pls check the sample images in this link - http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/phil....
