Paper Kite
The Paper Kite, Rice Paper or Large Tree Nymph [Idea Leuconoe] is known especially for its presence in butterfly houses and live butterfly expositions. It has a wingspan of 12 to 14 cm. The paper kite is of Southeast Asian origin, but can also be found in Northern Australia and Southern Taiwan. [Wiki] - The Biggest wingspan I've seen has been ~ 3 inches or 6 cm.
