Haha... looks like you had the best buttday present ever! :bsmile:

The one that needs ID is an Orange Albatross (Appias nero figulina)

Yes, the Lacewing is a Batik Lacewing (Cethosia biblis perakana)

Wah! Uncle Cher hern! So many wonderful shots! :what:

Yes the orange UFO in the first post should be orange albatross.

... ... And when you told me you were going to penang it never hit me that you would be going for butts... ... :bsmile: :bsmile: :bsmile:

Nice series, Cher Hern :cheers:
Hmm... serious butt flu indeed :)

You are really fast to post these pictures. Pity that I didn't have much time to shoot there.
Will post my shots taken at the PBF end of next week.

Nice birthday shots :thumbsup: , Cher Hern. Really got butt flu :bsmile: but well worth the trip :cheers: .

Cher Hern:

What a great day to celebrate... and a great way too. Looks like you had a really nice birthday.

I'm going to attach an image of a butterfly that I have not yet idenified, but that looks somewhat like your Autumn Leaf. Any ideas? William

Could be a Discophora sp.:/

Thanks William, I love your Blue Morpho too! Nice shot, you are getting quite comfortable with the T180 already. :cheers:
