So read the label attached. Literally Pazale euron, Dabaiuan, Mt.3000 m, Lushan, W-Sschuan. Second, comparing this to mandarinus (sadly don't have tamerlan), there are some clear differences like Euron is larger, its wings are not as much striped, the topside of its hind wings has serrations not waves.
It's apparently called similarly to morpho, male abdomens should be removed to prevent hind wings from greasing.
Vasily, thanks for the link, good website for IDing lepidoptera, only some photos of the collection specimens can't be opened, why so? Or registration needed?
Euploea phaenareta maybe?? They say the female wingspan might reach 105mm, this one just fed well being larva.
So who will follow that thread??? Say, I'm off for a few days, no web, when will I find the thread when I'm back??? Instead, the last comments to this pic are shown and always on hand. Please then move that thread to the "Open case".
One has wingspan 58mm, another 62, mine Nox male 75, female about 90mm. Maybe, Nox nix? Or Nox something else? Tomorrow or the day after I'll upload photos of them both. Petr, that will be several butterflies in one photo, what's bad but... the truth is a better friend.
Doesn't look like Nox, its hind wings are instead slightly serrated, the very butterfly is smaller and bright glaucous. Besides, Nox is of lighter colour at the wing edges. A. varuna, maybe?
Did it settle. Flies in masses in the jungles, though look paler than its South American brother. Apropos, don't Junonia coenia and other Junonia from that hood (America) as well? They're very common butterflies on Samui.
I checked up Macroglossum of East Asia on the tpittaway.tripod.com where they almost all looked the same. So using the method of exclusion and also considering that my specimens have 46—58mm wingspan (one of them is especially small, just 34mm, might have been a "frequently sick child"), summarizing all that, this turns out to be Macroglossum pyrrhosticta, Butler 1875.
Considering that this one is from Thailand, it's most probably Samia canningi, Hutton, 1860. Little bit later I'll add the male photo.
To Olga Averyanova about Acherontia photo.. Yep, this one came inside a small parchment bag signed as it is. Not sure as for reddishness, but it has blue spots on hind wings which atropos lacks. Please, assist to sort out #14343, 14344, 14345 photos. You're from those lands, should be lots of Chilias there as it's with podalirius here.
