The Extra Lascar, Pantoporia sandaka sandaka (Butler)

This and a range of similar looking Lasippa butterflies are quite difficult to tell apart if not for the possibility of images of its undersides as the uppersides almost ressemble one another...These are not uncommon butterflies on a jungle trail and should always be photographed even though they might look similar but close observations would often indicate different species...
