@Leuba, yes it really looks like Batik work, especially when they are together like this... similar colours to many of the pieces also. Thanks for your appreciation of my butterfly photos. My garden is filled with many flowers at the moment so it's a haven for butterflies. Especially considering all the concrete that's around outside the compound!

wonderful ! I had a batik piece similar to the patterns on the wings. Love the spots on head and thorax. You have some beautiful butterflies Pamsai...thanks for sharing them.

Welcome. I am never sure with butterflies out of my usual range, but in your case I am quite confident ;-)...

thanks Bayucca. Wasn't sure with the 2 pairs of wings, and closed wings at that... Is that the male spot on the top wing?
