this image taken from talang rimbo baru village curup town,rejang lebong regency. Very difficult to identify this butterfly,because not much info and similar photo about this one.Finally we found the pattern from Yukata web site (A Check List of Butterflies in Indo-China, Chiefly from THAILAND, LAOS & VIETNAM),so i think this the first record our euthalia aconthea garuda from rejang land,sumatra.
