I found this Common Sailer basking in the morning sun. I also have pictures of this Common Sailer with wings in closed position. This N. hylas (Common Sailer) is very similar to N. columella (Shortbanded Sailer). My previous post of N. columella is Here

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda

Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Nymphalidae
