Some Butterfly Sighting Records in 2012

[Peacock Royal]

Shot at PRP last Saturday (29 Jan)

Quite a few King Crows (Euploea phaenareta castelnaui) feeding on one particular flowering Syzygium tree

The 3rd shot puzzles me, but I think it is more likely to be King crow ?

Some shots taken in the past two weeks.
1. Anthene emolus goberus (Ciliate Blue)
2. Caleta elna elvira (Elbowed Pierrot) & Ionolyce helicon merguiana (Pointed Line Blue) ?
3. Tagiades calligana (The Malayan Snowflat) - No, it should be Tagiades gana gana (Large Snow Flat)
4. Jamides celeno aelianus (Common Caerulean)
5. Symbrenthia but which species ? - pity that I had only one shot
6. Miletus biggsii biggsii (Biggs's Brownie)
7. Hypolimnas anomala anomala (Malayan Eggfly)

Congrates Federick , for adding Symbrenthia to the Singapore Checklist!

It has not been recorded here before (C&P4).



Looks like Symbrenthia hippoculus selangorana ( The Common Jester )

Wow, congrats Fed, you did it again!!

[Bluebottle]

Well done, Federick

[Peacock Royal]

Thanks guys. It was all due to luck.
Need to have more shots to confirm the id.

Great Job Federick

Do you have an upper of that 'J. celeno ? It looks a bit odd.

That Tagiades calligana looks closer to Tagiades gana featured in the photo checklist.

Thanks Horace, you are right.
