Painted Jezebel

The last few days of 2011 were not too bad, weatherwise. I managed to get out a bit, but did not really see anything amazing unfortunately.
1) Catapaecilma major emas (Gray Tinsel). It may only be a rare recent rediscovery in Singapore, but it is quite common up here. I am always hoping that one may turn out to be C. elegans, but no luck so far!
2) Faunis caenens arcesilas (Common Faun). Common, but one of my better photos!
3&4) Cepora iudith malaya, male (Orange Gull). When feeding the species only ever partially opens its wings, this is as far as it goes.
5 - 7) Various Mycalesis species. Both dry and wet season forms are present! Apart from saying they belong to the mineus group, I really can not get to grips with this Genus.
