Couldn’t find it in my book featuring the 133 most common varieties of butterflies in Taiwan nor could I find it in my larger book containing 280 varieties… luckily I was able to I.D. it here.
NOTE: I seem to be experiencing a technical hiccup while attempting to upload images onto WordPress for the Daily Photos I set for scheduled publishing on Saturday and Sunday while I am away. Posting will resume on Monday.

This lovely specimen stopped only briefly for Darren and I at the Taipei Botanical Garden.

I told myself I had been posting too many butterfly pictures and promised not to post one today. However, after receiving infuriating news regarding a former employer’s recent actions I needed something to brighten my day.
I woke up extra early to find this one. I’ve photographed this variety on another occasion but this picture is more clear. From what I’ve seen, they have a tendency of hanging out in really dark regions of a forest making it hard to get a decent shot using available light.

Check it out with its wings open.
