Yes, Flos apidanus is recognised by the distinctive red costal patches on both wings.
The long labial palps (or palpi) indicate a female.

Hi,

today at Lornie, sorry not clear, only got 2 quick shots.

Is this Nacaduba pactolus odon ?

Female Nacaduba sanaya.
Although the black spot seem to have blue scales it is not the same as the blue line seen in pactolus.
The HW submarginal spots of pactolus have a distinctive appearance , spot 6 large & squarish, the rest rather flat.

It also does not match other species of 4-line Blues.

Hi,

Congrats to Loke for +1.

Which makes me wonder about this shot taken near Jelutong Tower yesterday. I thought it was a Ideopsis vulgarise macrina but it was a bit brown with orange patches. Grateful for ID.

There is a developmental injury to the forewing.
The markings will only match that of I. vulgaris.
