Yeah I see you have a lot of great butterflyspottings! India must be an wonderful place to spot all those beautiful butterflies. I wish we had more of them here in Belgium, but it's too rainy for them I suppose.

Welcome Lizzy... You can see many types of Indian Eggfly butterfly in my spottings.
Annelies
Yes indeed, that's the right butterfly! Thank you AshishNimkar!

I see, thanks! I didn't know for sure which species it could be, for I'm not such a butterfly expert, but this one looks indeed exactly like the common eggfly ^ ^

I believe you may actually have a common eggfly, (Hypolimnas bolina) females are very variable but this pic is close to yours. http://www.visualphotos.com/image/2x3628131/female_great_egg_fly_butterfly_hypolimnas_bolina
