Choice examples....🎉👏

Have always had a fondness for the species and Kallima in general. The cryptic verso is different on every one.

Heck, if I was able to cruise insect fairs like others can I would probably have 3 drawers full of these (at least) !

Truly great stuff. 🎉☺️

Thanks trehopr. I agree with you about Kallima. Great genus. The variation in undersides is astonishing even within species.
These were recent acquisitions from ebay. Everything from Taiwan difficult to get hold of now & sadly does not come cheap.
