Nymphalidae, Charaxinae, "must" be Prothoe franck uniformis. I almost mixed it up with Agatasa calydonia, the Glorious Begum. I think yours was bitten by a bird and is now missing part of its tail. Please, verify! http://www.pbase.com/lcgoh/image/152761911 Same as yours with a wrong ID: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7128176 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3436/3922458541_154cb26d17.jpg
