Thanks! It was a chance shot, when the butt opened the wings as my flash startled it.

Haha. You never know what you are chasing so it always good to just shot it. ;P

That time we had just heard from Uncle Khew about the mystery arhopala hostplant and then we saw it I got all excited and thought that was it.:embrass:
