Records shots from USR

[Yamfly]

Some record shots taken from USR. Sorry have to trouble the experts here to help ID my Arhopala shots if possible.

Pratapa deva relata (White Royal)


Lexias pardalis dirteana (Archduke)


1. Arhopala eumolphus maxwelli?


2. Arhopala amphimuta amphimuta?


3. Same as 2?


Both 2 & 3 have purple upperside.

Thanks for viewing.

Ah... the Green Oakblue is back. There was a colony of them at the forested patch before the trail going into the White Royal grounds.

Looks like that's their dwelling area. I recalled shooting a female Green Oakblue there once.

Improved shot on White Royal, nice!!

Thanks! Hopefully a more pristine & sharper shot next time.

The Green Oakblue are always there , except with the numbers varying with the time of the year.

There is a patch with plenty of their host plant. Go read the life-cycle and learn how to identify the host plant, that will make it easier to track it down.

There are another two locations at Bukit Timah Nature Reserves , where it was first sighted and from which the life cycle was recorded by Horace.


Cheers!

Thanks Sunny, I'll take a look at the patch where I shot it and see if it matches the 2 hostplant photos in the blog.
