Wow!!! Congrats on finding this!!!

[Commander]

Yes, those two post-discal spots are very conclusive of Pemara pugnans. Been a long time we've seen this one. So far I've one sighting from Upper Peirce and the last one at MOG where Henry also shot it. :cheers:

Thanks Khew for the confirmation !

This one shot at the western end where Zhui Gu works. :)

Well done, Sunny! Great shot.

Thanks Brian and David ! :)

[Banded Yeoman]

Such a beautiful skipper!!
Congrats Uncle Sunny for getting these lovely shots. :grin2:

Does it resemble the usual caltoris from afar?

[Silverstreak]

Jonathan ,

I nearly gave it a pass thinking it was a caltoris !!:)

It was through the viewfinder that I thought it look different, and the apical spots looks like what I had been searching for years!:bsmile:

The open wing shot was planned , knowing it would flap its wings on flash, and I need a glimpse of the upper just to be sure..

:cheers:

Good catch. I may not have countered this skipper before.
