Many thanks for posting. Yes - true that the verso side of many Lepidoptera can be just as striking (if not even more so) than the recto. Many such examples come to mind among the Charaxinae especially, such as:
Agatasa calydonia -

I agree that undersides can be just as beautiful as uppersides. A male Sephisa Chandra from Taiwan & a female from Vietnam.
A female Kallima inachus alboinachus also from Viet Nam before going into the relaxer.
