Rusty Butterfly - _TNY_1478
This rusty-tipped page (Siproeta epaphus) was a bit injured, but still able to fly when I saw it at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden when visiting together with my wife, son and mother-in-law in-between Christmas and New Years.
Actually. this species belongs to the genus Siproeta, the same as the malachite butterfly (Siproeta stelenes) and when looking at them, there is an undeniable similarity even of the colours differ.
For a shot of the (pretty) dorsal side of the wings, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52397436303/
For a shot of a malachite, please go here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52442054115/
