Went for a short break last week in Bali and stayed at the Bali Barat National Park for 2 days. Sharing some shots taken during my stay there.

Will try to provide ID at a later time. But any help will be great.


Tirumala septentrionis







Rapala varuna





Castalius rosimon




Ixias venilia




Cepora temena

Nice!
The first two are Tirumala septentrionis myrsilos.
The Pierrot is the usual Castalius rosimon rosimon.

The others I would not want to speculate about. The last two look interesting, and I am looking forward to seeing what they are!

4. Ixias venilia
5. Belenois java.

The id of no. 5 has suprised me. It looks nothing the Belenois java I'm used to. I had been thinking along the lines of a Cepora sp.

You are right.
It is Cepora temena female.
The black veins threw me off. The male does have the black veins.
I thought it was a Balinese ssp. of B. java.
