    Default ID Verification and Review

    Dear Dr. Seow sir

    Thank you so much for guiding me very well. It seems I am in a school learning more and more about my favourite subject with an ideal teacher.

    Today I'm posting some butterflies that need both - ID confirmation and guidance up to species level identification. Some I have posted looking at individual variation.

    Thank you in advance.

    10. The markings matched that of Rapala dieneces but much faded.
    Very likely to be this species.
