thanks
The bidding didn't escalate in the last few minutes so I figured I still had a chance under 100$
The wing edges are much brighter blue than that of Cirrochoroa regina and other species. I am more impressed than I thought I would be by it's beauty
I wanted to wait until it arrived safely and spread before I said anything in the thread...in case I messed it up.

You see the huge difference with and without flash. Just imagine it now flying in a sunny day : C. imperatrix is like a stroboscopic blue light, very impressive !
