Caught this butt in Sg Buloh - Is this a Centaur Oakblue?;-)

Hi Christina,

Yes, the markings do match that of the Centaur Oakblue, although I wonder why the characteristic green scaling on the underside of the forewings are absent. :thinking:

Hey I saw that butt at SBWR too! About two of them, 1 newly eclosed.

Will post my shot later.

Most likely the green screenings are not absent but covered by the hindwing. :)

This is indeed A. centaurus male.
The scalloped submarginal line which becomes broadly shaded at the apex is characteristic.
