Male Euploea core core.

Euploea core male is readily identified by the short thin brand in space 1b.
Ssp. core have the FW marginal & postdiscal spots prominent, the latter more or less equal or decrease slightly to apex (Evans).
This one have aberrant blue bands.

TL Seow: Cheers


Ps. The butterfly is possibly a cross between E. core & E. midamus. Even the male brand looks intermediate.
