Below are a couple of skippers that i have collated that i require more help with ID with, also welcoming any help i can receive as well! I am still inexperience in Identifying skippers, which i hope i am able to learn much more about them as i slowly learn to check out identification features.
Skipper 2 - skipper 2.jpg
I believe it to be a caltoris/baoris species? This was shot in mandai
Skipper 3 - skipper 3.jpg
I believe it to be also a caltoris/baoris species? Also shot in the same area as skipper 2, but appears to have mild differences
Skipper 4 - skipper 4.jpg
This flew into a housing area in mandai in the late night of about 9pm, which I believe this to be E. torus or E. thrax, but i still cant quite tell how to observe the shape of the termen in the wings itself.
Skipper 5 - skipper 5.jpg
This is the same specimen as skipper 4, which i hope helps if its a alternate angle should skipper 4 isnt sufficient
skipper 6 - skipper 6.jpg
This was observe in woodlands of Singapore nearby a area block for construction, i once again decide this is a E. thrax or E.torus as well
Skipper 7 - skipper 7.jpg
same specimen as skipper 6, but i decided a backup view would be sufficient
skipper 8 - skipper 8.jpg
this is found in the same woodlands area, but a different specimen on a different day
skipper 9 - skipper 9.jpg
i think this is a telicota species?
skipper 10 - skipper 10.jpg
i believe this is a caltoris/baoris species once again, observe at upper seletar reservoir
Continuing my journey learning how to ID skipper, and i require some assistance on the following skippers, all which are taken in Singapore this year
Skipper 1 - which Caltoris species is this? Is there any comparison picture to tell apart the various caltoris species, as i find it a bit hard to get the proper terms on specific dots on the wings to see the differences Skipper 1.jpg
