All the shots were taken yesterday on the same individual in the deep shade.

These are beautiful shots of a male Caltoris phillipina.
No cell spot; Sharp forewing; greenish ochreous scaling & hairs.

Hre is Horace's shot of one.
20574

The male Caltoris malaya have more rounded forewing; browner scalings without greenish tinge; female more ochreous.
Here is one raised by Horace.(This one appeared a bit greenish, probably due to colour setting.)

Thanks Dr. Seow for conforming a +1 for my score sheet !

I was telling Horace it could be a Caltoris phillipina too, when we met in the field this afternoon .

Cheers!
