Indian Leaf butterfly

Indian Leaf butterfly
A beautiful, bright butterfly when you see the upperside of the wings. Seen at the Calgary Zoo Butterfly House (before it was demolished). I seem to remember that this was the only time I saw a butterfly of this species there.

"The Orange Oakleaf or Dead Leaf Kallima inachus is a nymphalid butterfly found in tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a spectacular example of camouflage." From Wikipedia.
