Hi,
Can anyone ID this butterfly seen on a poster at Kew Gardens yesterday? I have an idea of what it may be. Thanks in advance.

Agreed. Not a butterfly likely to be seen in a UK garden ...
Then again, it's an international garden photograph exhibition.

Thank you both. I was right with my ID from Tristan Lafranchis's book.

Hecate it is. Interesting choice of species.
