A short (one day) but productive trip to Doi Pha Hom Pok, the second summit of Thailand and extremely rich of uncommon or rare butterflies.
Les an me were able to find several new and interesting species.

Nice!!
I believe the Orthomiella are endemic to this Burmese/Thai area.
Really unique lycaenids

[Peacock Royal]

Very hairy lycaenids,
Beautiful shots of these north Thailand butterflies.
Hope they wait for us !

No, Aaron, AFAIK Orthomiella fly up to China and Myanmar too
