Thanks Dr Seow for your explanations and ids

Some shots taken in the last few months.

33. Cepora iudith malaya (The Orange Gull)


34. The Colonel (Pandita sinope sinope)


36a.Pointed Ciliate Blue (Anthene lycaenina miya)


36b


Need id confirmation:

35a: Caltoris cormasa cormasa


35b

Post 22.

35a & 35 b.

35a is correctly C. cormasa.

35b should be Caltoris bromus.

If 35 a & 35b are taken by the same camera one after another ,they will have the same colour rendition, yet 35a is typically with the red tone of C. cormasa but 35b is ochreous brown as in C. bromus.
Further more C. cormasa typically have one lower cellspot (thus Fullstop Swift.)The upper cellspot is absent or very tiny.
35b show both the cellspots as in typical C. bromus.


C. cormasa , red tone & upper cellspot tiny or absent.
