Sulawesi - Minahasa Highlands

[Painted Jezebel]

The main thread has, as Sunny said, got rather messy.

This thread is open only for our photos from the Highlands. For information, the Gardenia residence where we stayed was in Tondano, alt. c800m, just south of Manado. We were partly taken up a mountain, and those photos from outside our residence would have been taken at just over 1000m.

... looking forward to the pics!

Les, how was the area for birds? Sulawesi was high on my list when I was an avid twitcher. There are many endemics on the island and the name "Minahasa" makes me think of one of the owls.

Two cropped photos of a pair of Delias zebuda, showing clearly the differences betwee the male (white upperside, cleaner underside) and the female.

Better individual photos should, hopefully follow.

We saw two out of the three Delias species to be found in the north, the only one missing was D. melusina, unfortunately.

Three Ypthima species, the two individual photos may show species previously posted, but I am sure the one with upper and undersides is different.
