Some Lycaenidae from Borneo
Hi, everyone, so a couple of weeks ago, i visited Danum Valley. But after comparing my finds with all the awesome things that some of the BC members found there the last time, i think it's safe to say that mine pales in comparison(mostly because of image quality; i am still using my crappy D60:/, but also because it was pretty cloudy and that there was little butterfly activity.) So here are some of my more interesting finds!!!

And then this Nacaduba joined in. Seems like Nacaduba beroe neon to me.

Drupadia ravindra surindra. This race is found in NE Borneo.
There are many other races of this species in Borneo but
i find this race interesting as it is the only one on Borneo that is sexually dimorphic
on both wing surfaces. This is a male; the female has the usual orange colour.

Zeltus amasa maximinianus. Same race as Singapore but note the heavier submarginal markings.
