Thank You for the complement, yes these guys are so fast and hard to photograph.
What a beautiful picture. In the Philippines, we have 3 ssp. from the Genus Idea - Idea leuconoe leuconoe - Paper Kite, Idea leuconoe obscura - Paper Kite and Idea leuconoe princessa - Siam Tree Nymph. They all look very similar to your Ceylon Tree Nymph, but I have only ever managed one poor quality cell phone photo of a Paper Kite. The other Paper Kite and the Siam Tree Nymph have always passed by too fast for any chance of a photo. I love your picture, but I have to admit I am also a little jealous. Well done. Great spotting.
