I attach an image of a butterfly. The photo was taken in Skegness yesterday.
Can anyone identify this creature please ?

Looks like an escape from a tropical butterfly house to me.

Indeed - one of the Clipper butterflies - usually found in south-east Asia.

Most likely from this place: https://www.skegnessnatureland.co.uk/fl ... utterlies/

Indeed. This is a clipper, Parthenos sylvia, from south and south-east Asia. It is a common butterfly of butterfly houses.
