Shot this butt high up on a tree at AH.
Just wondering is it the Great Imperial?

Johnny, that looks like a very weathered and tattered Common Imperial.

Thanks Khew that is the reason why I managed to shoot it.
Stayed at the same spot for about half an hour.

Probably nearing the end of its life span.
For a moment, I thought it resembled the very rare Ritra aurea volumnia, until I realised the characteristic markings of the Common Imperial. It seems to have lost most of its orange colouration on the wings.
