It's cloudy today in Langkawi and drizzled after that, that caused the number of sightings to drop...
Anyway,

Let me add some other species to what CH has posted in this thread.

FH1a : Papilio nephelus annulus


FH1b


FH2: Zela onara solex ? - to be confirmed. Shot without flash. Correction : Zela excellens


FH3 : Lotongus calathus calathus


FH4: Tagiadas japetus - I can't figure out which subspecies this is. Correction : Sarangesa dasahara dasahara.


FH5: Eurema nicevillei nicevillei

[Painted Jezebel]

Taking the opportunity, whilst I temporarily have an internet connection (playing up for my whole estate for the last 4 days!!) to congratulate you both on the species you have found a quality of photos. Magnificent.

The Zela species - FH2 - should be Zela excellens as the antennae club are white. In. Z. onara, they are brown. (Revision of Rattan-Feeding Skipper Genus, Zela, de Niceville by Kirton and Eliot, 2004).
