Very strange I can't see any pictures using my desktop computer but I can see the pics on my smartphone.Originally Posted by chengailim
Dear Dr Seow,
Could you please confirm if this is a Caltoris philippina philippina?
I also attach the photo of the caterpillar of this Caltoris that I raised. Hope it helps with the ID.

If you see pics of male & female C. philippina in C&P4 they both have sharp narrower FWs.
This one ? female have broad FW.
The cat is more or less like C. philippina but more smudged.
C. philippina have a greenish ochreous scalings on the underside.

There is another Caltoris, C. tenuis found in the north in Thailand that have greenish scales.
Probable C. tenuis.

You should try to get the upperside FW shot.
C. philippina have no FW cellspot.
C. tenuis have two cellspots.
TL Seow: Cheers.
