Hi, This looks very similar to the male Epistrophe eligans in pattern. There is only one pic of a female in the Gallery and it has different markings. Taken on 9th June 2008. Near Lincoln, UK. On Pittosporum 'Eilsa Keighley' leaf. Thanks! blowave attached the following image:  [64.03Kb] |

Yes. The abdomenal marking in this species is rather variable.
