I got a few skippers here, but they werent cooperative and flew away after one shot or so. I would wish to get a second opinion from you about their identities as such, however.
1 - P.mathias? I am not super sure how to differentiate Pelopidas assamensis from the rest, seeing as this individual was a bit larger, but not too the point i would call it a out of norm large

Another few additions i require some help with. Unfortunately my laptop has spoilt so i cant downsie effectively on phone without having the photo looking like puzzle pieces, so ill include the inat links only this time! Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
1 - Telicota besta?

I have shot this lassipa but is unable to check if its a Malayan or a Burmese lascar, i would like to clarify. This is my first observation of it feeding on biden pilosa/alba, which i personally have never seen a forest species lured by a urban garden flower before!
I understand Biden Pilosa is a invasive plant worldwide but i find that butterfly find the flowers very attractive, even if they arent from the native range. Similarly, lassipa and pantoporia dont seem to come out or feed on flower nectar that often. So i find this observation rather interesting.
