Featuring the Fivebar Swordtail, a most sought-after species by BCircle members. As it suddenly appeared in Feb/Mar 08 after a long absence, and many of the members here managed to shoot it puddling in various locations, it deserves the title of Butt of the Month!
Featuring the elusive Plane (Bindahara phocides phocides). A rare forest butterfly which makes its appearance in the nature reserves and even urban parks once in a while, and the recent spotting of it at the fringe of the nature reserves is an indication that it's still around in the vicinity.
Featuring the Plain Nawab (Polyura hebe plautus). A magnificent large and robust butterfly that can be found in urban areas as well as in the nature reserves. The Plain Nawab is very often a favourite amongst photographers as it is quite easy to shoot when feeding or stopping at its favourite perch to rest.
Featuring the Royal Assyrian (Terinos terpander robertsia). An elusive shade-loving butterfly with deep purple wings. Whilst not uncommon, it is not easy to photograph due to its preference for shady locations.

One of our Indonesian blog readers has spotted (and shot) a Tawny Coster in Bogor, West Java, two days ago. Looks like the TC is a world traveller moving down south steadily. I wonder if it will ever reach Australia?
Blog article by Chaiyen can be found here. Fortunately, those of us who can read Malay can roughly understand Bahasa Indonesia...
Featuring the small but pretty Branded Imperial (Eooxylides tharis distanti). A common but local Lycaenid which feeds on the forest vine Smilax bracteata.
