Cirrochroa satellita

Cirrochroa satellita is an Indomalayan species of heliconiine butterfly.

Under surface a lovely bright yellow growing darker towards the margin. Both wings are traversed by a broad white band which is bordered on either side with red, turning straw-coloured toward the costa in the forewings. The hindwings contain also a row of black spots, as is usual in Cirrochroa, but less complete.
