AgnesAdiqueTalavera & GeeChartier, thank you for the ID. : )
Sorry, I should have spotted that before. AgnesAdiqueTalavera is right, this is Ideopsis vulgaris.
Hi Aldrin, unfortunately, the Parantica aglea is not distributed in the Philippines. Your spotting matches Ideopsis vulgaris (Blue Glassy Tiger) (sample ssp macrina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nymphalidae_-_Ideopsis_vulgaris_macrina..JPG). The ssp endemic in the Philippines is ssp palawana, but I could not find an available image in the net. Regards.
Hi Aldrin. We would love to have this spotting (and the rest of your butterfly spottings) added in this mission - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15553007 (Butterflies in the Philippines). Thanks!
Sorry, I do not know what this species is because I am not familiar with the butterflies of the Philippines but I am sure that it is not Parantica aglea.
thanks Gerardo Aizpuru & Rubens Araujo. : )
thanks LucBertrand. : )
