Multicolored butterfly with predominantly orange wings that are marked with patches of brilliant red, tan, bold black squiggles enclosing white zones and a wave-like white line tracing the serrated trailing edges. The abdomen is bright orange like the wings with bulging orange eyes. It rests on a group of small pink flowers with yellow centers as it sips nectar in bright sunshine against a background of green vegetation.
The topside view of the same butterfly revealing boldly colored wings with a central median area of black-flecked orange ringed with black, having an arcing white bar in the middle of the black wingtip. It rests on green leaves with a few bright patches of dappled sunshine out of focus in the background.
Something lacy would be nice! The Malayan lacewing, #Cethosia hypsea, is a #Nymphalidae #butterfly active at forest edges & in open sun on #Bornea. Bright colors warn predators it is unpalatable #aposematic. Larval host is passionflower. An easy find at #Deramakot Forest Reserve #Sabah #Malaysia
