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

Attachment 20670

Tis must be the 10 ring butt that we have been hunting high and low for.

[Glorious Begum]

1) Cepora nerissa dapha (The Common Gull)



2) Ctenoptilum vasava vasava (Tawny Angle)



3) Seseria strigata (The Evans's White Flat)



4) Symbrenthia lilaea luciana (The Common Jester)



5) Ixias pyrene verna (The Yellow Orange Tip)



6) Charaxes bernardus crepax (The Common Tawny Rajah) ????

Beautiful shots, guys.
Amazing number and variety of butterfly.
Like the Odina decorata (are you sure this is not a moth, lol), Tawny Angle, Zebra Blue.

If this website is correct, Post 7 No 6 is a male Miletus ancon.

Thank you all for sharing. I also want to meet these butts especially Kalima limborgi, but again I might just missed it because of its leaf-like appearance. I am really curious about the wingspan of Kalima. Is it comparable to Doleschallia bisaltide pratipa (Autumn Leaf)?

[Painted Jezebel]

cj, Kallima sps. are larger than the Autumn Leaf.

Lets get rid of my ufos early, so we can end on a high!

Hesperiidae:
LD14) Very small skipper. Spots look odd to me. Sorry, never allowed me an underside shot, though for a fleeting moment I did see it and it was unmarked.
LD15) Slightly larger skipper. Again, the location of the spots seem strange. No underside shot again.
LD16) Could this be Celaenorrhinus aurivittatus? It looks fifferent from the recently seperated C. cameroni I regularly come across in Samui.
LD17) The only Potanthus sp. I saw all trip!

LD 14 Suada swerga : subapical one big one small; discal spots likewise ; pale mark in space 1b; bodyshape & wingshape.
I think you have the size wrong here since appearance indicates moderate size.

LD 15. The series of FW submarginal spots indicates it is Halpe.. Blur has cause the spots to look large.
The 2 closest matches, H. hauxwelli & porus have whitsh spots. Perhaps afternoon sun cause colour imbalance.
Probably closer to H. hauxwelli.
Correction: H. hauxwelli have larger yellowish spots, so this should be H. hauxwelli.

H. porus.

LD 16. This looks like C. cameroni.;band more orange, lower end more rounded & reached to tornal angle.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/90550010.html
C. aurivittatus. band paler , narrower(?always narrow at costa); lower end smaller, sharper & ends slightly higher up from tornus.

LD17. Potanthus juno. Upperside 2 subapical spots ;spot 5 1/2 that of spot 4.(like P. serina).
Note on the underside, all 3 subapical spots are present.
