Koh Phangan 2013

[Angiud]

Today a +2 for Koh Phangan, not illustrated because medium quality shots:

The Commander - Moduza procis milonia
The Banded Marquis - Euthalia teuta gupta
and my first KPG Judy, not sure what, fast disappeared in the forest


The Larger Harlequin - Taxila haquinus haquinus


The Common Posy - Drupadia ravindra moorei\


5 Bluebottle - common butterfly, not so common to see many of them puddling in KPG

I think you have been ++ non-stop
Like the posy shot

Today a couple of hours in the morning, same location, more+++!

+ 3 for KPG, +2 (probably) for my Thailand, + 1 for Samui-Phangan list!



Deramas sp. It's not clear to me, I need help...


The Magnificent Oakblue - Arhopala anthelus graham


The Violet Awl - Hasora leucospila leucospila

I refuse to believe you are on KPG! Have you found a new location to visit on the Island?

Magnificent Oakblue!!! Fantastic, I know I have never seen that here, can't miss it, can you.

I think you have a second +1 for our Archipelago. The Deramas species looks like a female to me owing to the rounded shape of the forewing. If so, it can not be D. nolens pasteuri, which I have found on Samui, and must be D. livens evansi, owing to the lack of an orange crown to a black tornal spot on the hindwing.

I'll be very interested in any comment Seow may like to make on this one.

You know the location, a little farther (1km) from the place you saw the Simiskina.

Do you want to come with me tomorrow?

Wonderful photos, Antonio. Looks like you have finding a number of interesting species this year.

The female Deramas does fit the description of D. livens very well.
The underside is a rich reddish to purple brown & the tornal orange is practically obsolete.
