Great specimen,John. I have had a female a few year ago,but not of the quality of your specimen ! I need to replace it with a good one. The female of this species is really one of the most HUGE Lepidoptera in the world !
(A small correction: the species' name is : rebelli).

I have this too, it is a fantastic species and as mentioned, huge! The biggest of the Arsenuras barring maybe a female ponderosa.
By the way Thanos, it is rebeli with one 'L'.

Yes Dave,sorry,you're correct. It is : Arsenura rebeli Gschwandtner,1919 .
I've seen it many times as 'rebelli',but now I see that it's incorrect. (Also other species named as 'rebeli',like for example the European Lycaenid Maculinea rebeli,are written with 1 'l').
