After looking at BJ's thread I went through my previous records and found this.

This is a poor shot of the upper side as my flash did not fire. Had to brighten it considerably.

The under side is much better when the flash fired.
Is this the P. philota philota?

Think this is a Sumatran gem as it has solid green upperside unlike the P. philota which has streaked green patches.

This is a female Poritia sumatrae sumatrae (Sumatran Gem)
