North Sulawesi

Some more, but I am getting towards the end of this part of the trip.

1&2) The only Riodinid we came across, Abisara kausambi sabina
3) Hypolycaena sipylus giscon - I have tried to reduce the pinkish wash caused by reflection of the flash from the plant it was sitting on. This is as far as I could get without completely ruining the butt!
4) This may be an Antheme sp. Note the 3 pairs of small tails on the hindwing.
5) No idea!
5) Also help needed. (Found in my Zizina otis file, but the hindwing submarginal markings are different.
7) A Jamides sp.

Only four 'record purposes only' photos left, from me, before I start on the Highlands photos.

RE: #132.

1. & 2. Abisara echerius bugiana (male).
3. Same as id.
4. Anthene lycaenina.
5. Catopyrops ancyra subfestivus.
7. Jamides celeno optimus.

6. This butterfly belongs to the Lycaenopsis group. I have to go through the keys in "Blue butterflies of the Lycaenopsis group - by J. N. Eliot & A. Kawazoe" and will let you know the id later.
