thank you very much martinl for your information...I will change it.
This is a confusing butterfly because it mimics the tiger for protection. Check the row of white dots on the hindwing that make "v" shape patterns in hypolimnas (eggfly) only. This is a female and the male is very different, without any orange at all.
