Field Notes

Description:

female

Habitat:

Observed in a large semi-urban yard/garden next to a disturbed patch of remnant forest. This is the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.

Notes:

Would appreciate a confirmation on the species ID because this individual lacks large white splotches on the fore wings (as were observed on all photos of females I found).
