Brand New Tiger - _TNY_6681
This upside-down fellow is a tiger leafwing (Consul fabius).
The species belong to Charaxinae - the leafwings - and looking at this one, I'd say it is pretty clear where that name come from. This one likes to stay still with its wings closed and let the camouflage help it blend in with the leaves to avoid predators.
The dorsal side of the wings is more colourful in a mainly orage paintjob with parts being black and with white spots.
