My KL-ite friend spotted this butterfly at the petrol kiosk outside a forest reserve (Hutan Simpan Ayer Puchong) near his house... I wonder if this is the Stimula Swinhoei? Very hard to see the origin of vein 5 cos the wing so faded... (and I'm sleepy now... zz)

It's totally unmarked it seems. AND ... it's huge!

Also this looks like the Polyura jalysus jalysus, does it not?

Yes, the last butterfly is the Polyura jalysus jalysus, AKA the Emarald nawab:) . That's quite a :thumbsup: shot there, but sorry I cant identify the skipper...:-(

The skipper probably is Chocolate Demon which is a common species.
