You're welcome Mauron. Thanks for updating the ID when you get a chance ;-)
Thanks Daniele on ID and interesting facts about this butterfly. Thanks Tukup for comment. I'll try to get a shot of second stage. Greetings.
Nice catch Mauron. Lots of luck getting its summer counterpart. Thanks for sharing. Great link for the two phase Daniele.
Hi Mauron! This butterfly species comes in two seasonally dysmorphic broods. This is the first brood. The second brood, which comes in summer, is black with white spots.
