That's quite some contrast between the colours of the upperside and underside, Paul.

Fabulous butterfly.

Next up is Consul fabius, the Tiger Leafwing.... I think I remember this from a tea card set in my childhood (????), stirring up a butterfly interest in me...

I didn't realise it was only worth £4.73.
