Hmm... Federick's shot is another UFO. Quite different and most likely a tailless species.

The 2nd of da last 5 shots taken by Ben Jin looks like deudorix elioti.

There's an article in CP's Taiwanese link. Would make some interesting reading if we knew what the article was about... Maybe our specimen here is also the Philippine subspecies instead of the Malaysian one?

Ya... the Aussie link that I posted earlier will bring you to the Japanese Jamides website showing the same photos.

[Cigaritis wong]

Another one, not sure if it's the same species. But was shot on the same day as above. The upperside description mentioned on my previous post is actually for this one.

wong, for yr post #29, the marking as well as the big black eyes looks similar to the Dark Caerulean, you may want to double check.
