ID Runaround - _TNY_1230

I had a pretty hard time identifying this great eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina). I got on the wrong track with a similar species known as the common crow butterfly which was almost, but not quite right.

 

Annoyingly, I used Google Image Search and found a photo of what was definitely the correct butterfly but the website was dead and it was just the cached page that Google had that was showing.

 

Only the first part of the title of the page was viewable and it said "No, I'm not a common crow butterfly, I am a..." and there it cut off.

 

Eventually I figured it out elsewhere though.
