Some Butterfly Sightings in 2013

[Peacock Royal]

Just came back from my reseach project team's 4-day retreat at Fraser's Hill (FH) Surprisingly, the weather was rather good on most of the days but I didn't have time to venture out to the waterfall to shoot - sharing some shots taken near Singapore House.
1 : Common Punchinello (Zemeros flegyas allica)
2 and 3 : The Small Wood Nymph (Ideopsis gaura perakana) - seemed to be in season.
4. The Common Gull (Cepora nerissa dapha) ?
5. Delias ninus or Delias acalis ??
6. The Red-spot Jezebel (Delias descombesi descombesi )

[Painted Jezebel]

No. 5 is D. ninus ninus. In D. acalis, the basal red area is larger.

I think the Punchinello is ssp. albipunctatus. According to C&P4, ssp. allica is only found in the far north, on Langkawi, and the apical white spots do seem quite prominent.

Thanks Loke.
Some recent shots.
1. Indigo Flash (Rapala varuna orseis)
2. Which Nacaduba ?

[Psyche]

Post 9.

Rapala manea female.
The bands are narrow & the orange does not encircle the black spot.

Nacaduba berenice male.
The FW submarginal spots looks like beroe, but the dark striae are not obsolete & the wingbase not darkened.
