Rice paper butterflies of the genus (Idea) are some
of the largest and charasmatic butterflies of southeast
Asia. Most or virtually all are of a black/white color
combination and have a large wing area in relation
to their body size. Some are widespread as species
whilst many more are localized or restricted.
I don't have many of these gorgeous butterflies but,
I have picked-up a few....
This one pictured below hails from south Sulawesi,
February 2023. I worked it up just yesterday and will
cure for about 3 weeks.
Idea blanchardii morosiana
I certainly welcome any others that I may find.
