The weather has been incredibly great, no rain or haze in the last four weeks which makes a good passage for birds without staying long for stop over.I had lost the intent of hitting the coastal jaunts after four continuous weeks of hard birding. So a casual visit to the Wild Animal Zoo yielded couple of  "Red Ring Skirts" but the mega pick was a single "China Nawab" near the Elephant enclosure. The last time i saw it was in Jiangxi province and the handbook has a illustration of a specimen collected from Jiangsu province. Otherwise, the butterfly has a wide distribution across China.Common Name : China NawabScientific Name : Polyrua narcaeaChinese Name : 二尾蛱蝶Distribution : Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Beijing, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Taiwan.</blockquote>
