Thanks Dr Seow!
Could the following be Pothanthus trachala then?
FW spots 4 and 5 seems to be detached from other spots? UnFW spots 4 and 5 connected by spikes?

Hi Dr Seow,
Here to check in a few more skippers to verify their IDs.
1) Could this be Telicota linna? Underside looked pale but its overall appearance looked weird.

2) Pelopidas sp.; Very worn not sure if can be ID-ed further.

3) Pelopidas sp. ; quite large, not sure if this could be P. conjunctus?

Hi Dr Seow,
Would require your assistance to help ID this skipper.
Pelopidas sp.? No HW cell spot though, and size is 1.5x a P. mathias.

Hi Dr Seow,
Could I check if the following skippers are all Erionota thrax?
I am unable to visualise the difference between E. thrax and E. torus and would like to seek your assistance to shed light on the differences.
