The Great Saturn, Zeuxidia aurelius aurelius (Cramer)

Rare and solitary, confined to deep forest in the lowlands. It is an unmistakable butterfly which figures among the largest Malayan butterflies. The underside ressembles a white-washed A. phidippus.

Above pictures of a female: 19 Mac 2015. It was completely hidden among a litter of dead leaves in the undergrowth until disturbed by my footpaths - and it sprang to life and landed not far on an open trail...
