Fantastic. I made my comment and then found the ongoing conversation and Julio's spotting. Again, very nice, both your's and Julio's.

Very nice. Not sure what it is, but you may want to look at this page: http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Malaysia%20-%20Zeltus%20amasa.htm. There are some differences between your shot and the examples on the page given above, but there are also many similarities and this may be a starting point.
