Could these two skippers be the same individual?
1. Common Redeye (Matapa aria)
2, White-tipped Skipper (Erionota hiraca). Note shape of hindwing patch.
3. Common Redeye. Ths shows how the colour changed with lighting condition.
The two are not the same.
4. White-tipped Skipper. Darker colour; hindwing patch irregular, constricted; forewing tip white patch extend to outer margin.
5. Banana Skipper (Erionota thrax). Note shape of pale patch of hindwing & forewing tip; forewing outer margin (termen) straight.
