    Amazing shot, LC. It was nice of the three to line up like this so that the difference can be studied.

    Tawny Rajahs (Charaxes bernardus) were common along the Maliau River. They were the most conspicuous when it was sunny and when bait had been added to the sandy areas near the water.



    Clippers (Parthenos sylvia) were also a frequent sight. They never stopped at the bait but this one did settle low on a retaining wall at the headquarters.



    ... not butterflies but such lovely animals. Tiger Leeches were so affectionate and just loved us. Les suggested that this would make a nice Valentine's Card. Strange, but my wife was not impressed by these.
