Dec. 2018 and Jan. 2019 South Vietnam, from Mekong Delta to Central Highlands.
Remarkably few insects in the Mekong Delta area. Probably due to the population density and the fact that practically every bit of land has been cultivated. Although very green, there is not much nature left here.
Nevertheless I have been able to photograph a reasonable number of butterflies. Though they all were rather common species, there are some where I doubt my tentative identification.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
