#75 I think this should be Rapala pheretima sequeira (http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/2382/lycaenidae/pheretima.htm). The flash was a bit harsh. The brown should be darker. :embrass: Anyway, time to rush down to get this species, guys and gals... ;P

75-1: Right view

Congrats. I foresee you breaking the "80th" mark barrier after this sat outing. :-)

Btw I prefer the landscape view of Iraota rochana boswelliana.

That depends on what species is 'available' there on that day. ;P

This particular Rapala species has a pair of beautiful antennas.
The landscape view of the Iraota shot looks better for me.

Centre of the trail, near the heliotropium (correct me if I spell wrongly).

Didn't see Green Baron today; saw only Baron. :-(

nice work! i love these family of butts, their eyes all big big wan, like cycad blue :)

compared your shot of the RPS to mine, the patterns are all the same ;). Shld be the RPS! (tho yours seem a bit bigger in size...maybe becoz its wing is raised or itz a M/F thing)
