Field Notes

Description:

A butterfly about 6-7 cm across with black wings that have a light brown section at the tail, and a few light brown spots on the wings.

Habitat:

Spotted at the back of Wat Phra Singh, a very garden-like area in the middle of the old town of Chiang Mai.

Notes:

I searched for quite a while to try to ID this butterfly and found one picture that was similar, listing the butterfly as a Thai King Tiger Butterfly - but I can't find a reference to that particular species anywhere else.
