Hi Seow ,

Shot this ovipositing female Nacabuba a few days back. I can narrow it down to Nacaduba , when getting down to species level I am blur like a sotong trying to fix its ID!:bsmile:

Your Help will be much appreciated!

This is either berenice or calauria.

The wings are too wrinkly. The marginal and submarginal are quite dark suggesting it might be calauria, but the female berenice and sometimes the male as well can have rather dark spots.
The rather narrow submarginal spots on the forewing(for a female) suggest this is berenice.
