User's notes
It's body was 10 cm long and as thick as my thumb. I think it had just hatched out and its wings not yet stretched, but that's a guess, along with the name.

I think the wing pattern is looking too simple for E. encalypti. E. secta has a simpler pattern (dark and light speckles separated by a dark line)?
