Blue Tiger - Closed (for Cora) (Tirumala limniace)

This one is for Cora (Adalia) for all the kind comments and support.

Blue Tiger (80-90mm).

When I saw this butterfly on Saturday I wasn't sure if it was a Ceylon Blue Glassy Tiger (Ideopsis similis), which I have seen a number of times, or something new. On checking the guide it was a Blue Tiger, a lifer for me.
