This butterfly is just too cool! I have never seen one in person. What does the wing look like when open? Great pic! Thanks for sharing.

I love your exotic species pics, snasxs.

Do you know how the various leaf-like species are related? For instance, the Goatweed genus (Anaea) in the U.S. seems similar, but is it related?

You might do a google search on this species. The other side is amazingly colorful. The base is lake blue. The blue is a metallic shiny color. Near the top end, each wing has a wide orange band. The whole thing is stately and colorful.
