Butterfly Sightings in Northern Thailand in Oct 2018

[Peacock Royal]

Thanks to Antonio for bringing me around for hunting/shooting butterflies from 10 - 16 Oct.
This is my fourth trip with Antonio. Generally, the weather was reasonably good on most of the days but the number of butterflies and species we have seen in certain locations were not promising at all this year.

I will be posting most of my shots here in the forum and update my blog later - I believe that the forum is much better than FB for deeper learning, documenting and discussion.

Let me begin with some common species that are "problematic" for me to identify them with confidence.
Feel free to correct me if there is a wrong id as I didn't and will not go through a very thorough check for the ids.

1. Acytolepis puspa


2. Monodontides musina musinoides


3.Bothrinia chennelli celastroides


4. Udara albocaeruleus Correction : Celastrina lavendularis
