Thanks Irina.
Mark,very nice !
Incredibly similar to Mangrove Buckeye, 'Junonia genoveva' in the US http://butterfliesofamerica.com/images/N...
Thanks k.andrews6. Yes I noticed that Martin... different locations but similar variations. A good case for seasonal variation possibly.
Yours is fairly similar to my Victorian one with differences mainly along the outer wing edge. I think this is due to winter and summer variations. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/103...
