Euploea mulciber mulciber, Danaidae - Koh Phi Phi - Thailand

[wollastoni]

Another beautiful Euploea from Phi Phi island with a blue sheen : Euploea mulciber mulciber
It is smaller than the other Euploea of the island.

Same behaviour, easy to find and very calm butterfly.

This is the model for the common form of Papilio paradoxa, the female of which has white streaks on the hindwings like the female of Euploea mulciber. The specimen above is a male, for anyone who may be confused by my comment.
