The Orange Banner butterfly, scientifically known as Temenis laothoe quilapayunia, is a striking subspecies of the Temenis laothoe. The upper side of its wings features brilliant orange hues with intricate black markings. These colours serve as a warning to predators and are also useful for camouflage when the butterfly is resting among foliage.
