Sneak Peek - _TNY_0591
Normally, the one-spot prepona (Archaeoprepona demophon), also known as tha banded king shoemaker, is not very fond of showing the ventral side of the wings when resting.
This particular one however had managed to not get its wings completely flat when they hardened which mean that part of the dorsal side was showing even when it tried to keep them closed. The damage wasn't that severe theough so it could still fly.
For a shot of one showing it's wings completely open, have a look here:
