[Painted Jezebel]

1) Euthalia monina monina. Ssp. kesuva not found on the peninsular.
14) Papilio palinurus. P. paris not found so far south, unfortunately. The small size of the hindwing marginal red spots confirm this.
25) Rapala pheritima sequeira. Ssp. petosiris is northern ssp.
37) Catapaecilma major emas. You can see silvery postdiscal spots at the base of spaces 4 & 5.

Congratulations on capturing two species I have not seen there before, Zographetus satwa and Prothoe franck, but please note the ssp. is P. franck uniformis. Ssp. vilma is from northern Thailand.

I hope you both had a wonderful time there, it looks like you did.
