I get Les proposal and I start a new thread about our wonderful trip.

I will post some common butterflies too, just to give a better idea of the environment and the different species from Center Thailand.

Of course some mistake will be welcome to be correct...

For (my) convenience, I'll post the pics in chronological order:

Thanks, Antonio.

A couple of changes- The Euthalia evelina is ssp. compta, I suspect.
The Euthalia teuta ssp. is difficult to determine for certain, as the males are indistinguishable to me, the differences in females are more obvious, but yours is a male. I suspect you are right.
My mistake, I think, whilst up on the mountain (1000m) on the first day. The species looks like Parantica melaneus (Chocolate Tiger), the same as lower down. Sorry!

LD 12 - Euthalia recta monilis (Red-spot Marquis) - male & female
LD 13 - Euthalia evelina compta - underside

Thanks Les for the corrections!!

And I've enclosed too progressive numbers for a more easy location of the pictures

N01 Kalima limborgi





N02 Atrophaneura adamsoni







N03 Ctenoptilum vasava vasava (Tawny Angle)







N04 Odina decorata (Zigzag Flat) Only managed to get a few shots of this fella as it zigzag into the dark forest.




N05 Discophora sondaica zal, Can I ride on your back





N06 Miletus ancon

[Painted Jezebel]

No.5 is Discophora sondaica zal, the northern ssp. Paler than the ssp. further south.

I am exceptionally envious of your photo of Odina decorata (Zigzag flat). No ssp. This is yet again another species found further south than previously recorded, to my knowledge.

I am totally pissed off that I missed the Kallima. Never seen the species.

I think we all managed the photo of The Tawny Angle, despite asking whether it was a moth!!!!

A butt that we were looking for long time. Guess what is this butt ?

We can always go back for more.

Theses small flats are small and zippy and they does look like a moth for the few fleeting seconds when they stop.
That was until they decide to take a loooonngeeeerr pitstop.
