Very beautiful. Note that I edited the species name in the subject line, as the species name should begin with a small letter.
If you can include the locality in the post that would be really educational, thanks.
Adam.

Thank you Adam for correction and telling the way to write the species. The object was peeing when the picture was taken. It was on June 11, 2005 in Tembagapura, Papua, Indonesia. Thanks, rs.

Thanks for adding the data, this is interesting to us all.
Yes, when butterflies mud puddle they suck fluid up through their proboscis and then after extracting the Sodium salts they 'pee' the rest of the water out of the back end. Some species are known to expel waste water in spurts, almost like a pumping action.
Adam.
