Field Notes

Description:

Charaxes pleione, the Square-winged Red Charaxes, is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family.

I am unsure if this is a different species to the others I posted, but the others didn't have that prominent break.

Habitat:

Seen imbibing minerals from monkey Poo with several other forest species, on a small path, quite deep in tropical forest.
Last photo shows the habitat...
