Guess this got to wait till after exams! :mad2: Another 10 more days to go. By the way what is the name of this butt? Have not seen this before. I've encountered an influx of butterflies hovering at a flowering tree just below my block. Easily spotted 4-5 yellow emigrant & 7-10 painted jessy. If only i've got a 300mm with 2x i can shoot it at the kitchen area. :bsmile:

Quickly chiong get it is so tempting....:mad2:

All these are confusing me. :hmmm: :hmmm:

I always call the Lemon emigrant as yellow emigrant as it's yellowish in flight but i know it's wrong to rename it. So from now, it's lemon emigrant.

Thanks for the correction.

cheers!

Try to learn the biological names. They are the only ones that are recognised throughout the world. Use the local names and 95% of people will not know what you are talking about!

It will take time, I know, but in the end it obviates all confusion.

Saw this moth today too but I was not fast enough to take a shot. So no +1 for me. :cry:

Yes i will try to learn their biological names after i start dumping my 'HDD' from all the fishes biological name. Too much to input and i will start mixing their names.

Give me some time :bsmile:
