Nelson,

As always, your shots in this series are excellent. The Tailed Judy was very nice. Looks like you guys had a great time and found lots of interesting species.

Where did you find the Choaspes subcaudatus? I have seen large skippers like this along the Telekom Loop at Fraser's Hill but never have been able to take a photo.

Regards,

Thanks David for the kind words. The Choaspes stigmatus caudatus is shot at Bukit Tinggi. We did not find many species at Fraser but the Abisara neophron was a nice surprise as it was different from the one that we had in Singapore.

Nice shots Nelson. You guys are welcome as always.

Thanks LC, always a pleasure to be there

Great shots Nelson! Quite a number of pluses for you...

Thanks Cherhern, yep quite a fruitful trip.

Doleschallia bisaltide pratipa.
Arhopala major major.
Unkana batara ambasa.
Dacalana vidura azyada. (orange patch does not obliterate black stria above.)
Choaspes subcaudatus crawfurdi.(parallel black spots & marks prominent & set well apart.)
(Correction :should be Choaspes stigmatus caudatus)

TL Seow
PS. The Choaspes is far more difficult than I realised, especially with the vital ID segment torn off.
Although the black bar is folded under some blackness should be noticeable, and the naked vein is mostly orange.(black bar large in C. subcaudatus.)
The inner margin of the orange area is curved & not straight as in C. subcaudatus.(not always curved in C. stigmata though.)

Choaspes stigmatus caudatus is the correct name for what is previously C. plateni caudatus. (C. plateni has been shown to be a different species.)
