Butterfly numbers were very poor this year. Not sure for the reasons, there may be more than one factor.
I'll start off with the first species I found, which includes one of only 4 new species for me on this trip, that I know of (but there are still the Arhopala to rescue me!!!)
LD1) Rajah Brooke's Birdwing (the original) - Trogonoptera brookiana brookiana. This species had the very annoying habit of only resting at a height of about 3-4 metres, hence the less the parfect angle.
LD2a) Atrophaneura nox noctis (male) - A +1 for me.
b) as above (female), much larger than the male.
