Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: nymphalid

I think I've only ever posted (taken?) one photo of this species before, at the Calgary Zoo, but I suspect it was a recently emerged butterfly and its hind wings were not fully opened, as they were differently shaped to the ones in the image above.

Another tropical butterfly seen in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. The Common Sergeant (Athyma perius) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Depending on the angle from which you see this butterfly, there is a bright blue edging to the white spots. Also called the Blue Moon. Quite a beautiful tropical butterfly, seen in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Wingspan is about 7–8½ cm (2.8"-3.3"). "Great Eggflies are found in Madagascar in the west, through to South and Southeast Asia, South Pacific islands (French Polynesia, Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu) and occurs in parts of Australia, Japan and New Zealand. The Great Eggfly is a fairly common butterfly found in lightly wooded country, deciduous forests, thick and moist scrub and the greener parts of human habitation." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypolimnas_bolina
