Himalayan Jester - top view (Symbrenthia hypselis scatinia)

Himalayan Jester (35-43mm).

Another butterfly BFs Jeff Harding (Oregonian) and I came across at Sun Moon Lake on Wednesday. With Taiwan having the highest mountains in East Asia (Yushan Peak 3952m, with over 200 peaks higher than 3000m), Taiwan's mountains are home to many 'Himalayan' species like this Himalayan Jester.
