thank you dendoucette :) ashish: i'm pretty sure its Indian Leaf, or at least that's what we call it here in Penang Butterfly Farm. the Blue Oak leaf is of the same genus but different species, and they have a light blue bar instead of orange like this one :)

I never saw this Indian leaf but saw Orange and Blue Oak leafs many times in Western ghat forests from India.

Its very tough butterfly to locate when it closed wings. In vntral view they are perfect dry leaf mimicking views.
I think its Blue Oak leaf...!!
Very nice! I love the camouflaged when it's wings are closed. These are some great first spottings. Welcome to Project Noah.
