Euchromia isis isis
"A rather common species and probably widely distributed through New Guinea. Seems to prefer lower altitudes. In New Guinea represented by the nominotypical subspecies isis. DISTRIBUTION: ssp. isis: New Guinea, D'Entrecasteaux Islands, Bismarck Archipelago."
Observed in a large semi-urban yard/garden next to a disturbed patch of remnant forest.
I have observed this species only once (this spotting) in this location. For a spectacular spotting of another species of Euchromia from almost the exact same location look here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/791...
