Day 2, and it saw the mass emigration to Pulau Ubin. It was fascinating, for someone who always works aloine, to see how a large group works. there are advantages (many pairs of eyes) and disadvantages (getting in other peoples way accidentally), but it was great fun. I particularly enjoyed the mass scrimmage for the HTT!:bsmile:

My +1s for the day:

1&2) Danaus chrysippus chrysippus f. alcippoides (Plain Tiger) - Not strictly a +1, but it was a new form for me.
3&4) Hypolycaena thecloides thecloides (Brown Tit)
5) Miletus biggsii biggsii (Biggs Brownie)
6) Polytremis lubricans lubricans (Contigous Swift) - I think this is the ID, but if someone knows otherwise, please advise.

Other species seen for the first time were:
Pantoporia paraka paraka (Perak Lancer)
Curetis saronis sumatrana (Don't know English name, if there is one)

Not new species for me, but first time able to photograph them:

1&2) Euploea tulliolus ledereri (Dwarf Crow)
3&4) Lampides boeticus (Pea Blue/Long Tailed Blue)

Finally (5), not a butterfly, but not worth starting a thread, Attacus atlas (Atlas Silkmoth) with coccoon, my first wild silkmoth.

Looks like quite a good collection for your future website. :cheers:

Curetis saronis sumatrana is known as the Sumatran Sunbeam down here.
