Congrats, on the Sinthusa malika amata, Chng. Never seen that before.
Looks like you guys had fun, even if butt activity was quite low.

Thanks Les. Too bad it was not a pristine one. Maybe you can help me to nail down the ID of this Sunbeam below :
All 3 below were shot in the Butterfly Park in Cameron. It was really sad to see that most of the butterflies inside were half dead, waiting to die. :cry:

It is Curetis regula.
No black dots; black -banded legs; Postdiscal band regular, without the indentation or protrusion seen in other species.
Les, you can actually use this one to compare with the Danum Curetis.

Excellent shot of the Sinthusa malika.:)))

I forgot, what a wonderful female Trogonoptera brookiana albescens. Difficult to get. Males are easy, but the females, not so.
