Being a few more time than the group, I prefer to post separately the pictures of this wonderful and easy location in North Thailand.

👍 nice shots Antonio. So there was a Yellow Tinsel around that day that I missed. Should have stick close to you that day 😬

[Angiud]

No, these shots are from a day I was there alone (21st April 2014), Than I've been there one more time just with Les, and then the 27th we went Chiang Dao together.

The yellow tinsel is lovely.

Antonio, mistake on the Sebastonyma pudens. The species is Thoressa cerata, (I have to look up the English name), Northern Ace.

[Painted Jezebel]

I thought I had misheard Sukkiti! The Arhopala is most certainly not A. epimuta as I thought he had said, but actually Arhopala epimete duessa (Violetdisc Oakblue). Congratulations, this is a rarity. Lucky ******!

[Angiud]

Thank you Les, of course is a Thoressa, and thanks for the Arhopala. I got a spider sting for that one...

[Angiud]

Lc, is that your cigarette?
