Beautiful shots, Khew
So, you manage to nail the Red Spot Sawtooth too. Chasing this skittish fella and trying to get a good shot, this guy literally made Sunny and I rolling on the sand

Thanks. This was shot with the Chocolate Albatross just taking off in the background and cropped off. Actually, both of you had great opportunities, if not for the Chocolate Albatrosses that kept blocking the Sawtooth! Sunny wanted to that bugger!

[The Plane]

Another wonderful butterfly trip for me. Thanks to Khew and Shirley for the arrangement to make this trip possible and I enjoyed all the nice food cooked by Irene - simply delicious . It was also a great pleasure to finally meet LC and Les in person. Starting with some field shots first :

[Painted Jezebel]

#2 : Branded Yeoman

I believe it is the Little Banded Yeoman, no 'r'!

[Bluebottle]

L.11 Jewel Nawab
L.12 Orange Albatross,
L.13 Pathysa antiphates itamputi (Five Bar Swordtail)
L.14 Malaysian Albatross (Saletara liberia) (previously wrongly id asCatopsilia-pomona-pomona)

I believe it is the Little Banded Yeoman, no 'r'!

Actually, that's where I would differ from the Thai book and depend on Markku Savela's list which refers to Paduca fasciata as the Branded Yeoman, with 'r'.

The butt has a pair of "brands" on the upperside of the forewings near the apical area which lends some credibility to the name "Branded".
