Scientific name: Moduza procris milonia

Moduza procris, the commander, sometimes included in the genus Limenitis, is a medium-sized, strikingly coloured brush-footed butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is notable for the mode of concealment employed by its caterpillar and the cryptic camouflage of its pupa. Wikipedia

While searching for how this butterfly got his name, I found this article by Butterfly Cycle
