Hi Federick,

Thanks! It was indeed a fruitful trip! Learnt from sifu the endemic butterflies of Sabah and they were just great.

I was so awed by the Borneo Birdwing ((Troides andromache) which flew all over the stream and was almost impossible to get any shots. So I just went on some crazy continuous shooting and was lucky to get one record shot with open wing. Here is the shot for sharing.




Also had great fun with the Borneon Mormon.




It was fascinating to see them in quite a few numbers. I managed to take some fun shots.










Lets catch up again soon.
