Common Silverline

One of the most stunning butterflies I have ever seen. This brightly coloured animal has a wing drawing and shape that fools you on mixing up front and back. If that is not enough it even moves the wings up and in alternation to each other each wing back to front revealing a blue background. It is a magical display beyond description! The genus has recently been renamed from Spindasis to Cigaritis. Regarding the species there are a few similar ones. The animal was observed in Thailand.
