Thanks Johnathan. :)

Thanks Ant, hard work pays rewards. :) Its a different experience whereby everything that flies past could be something that we have not shot before. :grin2:

[Painted Jezebel]

Great serieas, Nelson.:thumbsup: However, it may be sensible to do away with the subspecies names, until they are verified. Many of the subspecies found in that area differ from those on the Peninsular. For example, the photo of Delias pasithoe is of D. pasithoe angustifascia, not D. p. parthenope.

[Glorious Begum]

Great set Nelson. Looking forward to my trip this year. :cheers:

[Sky Blue]

Wow, many butts that I'm don't recognize!

Thanks Les, have corrected the ID of the Delias pasithoe.
and removed some of the subspecies name. :cheers:
