Incredible, but this is my first outing of the 2013 (in KPG).
Dry, hot and not so busy. Just 2 pics worth the nomination:

The White Lineblue - Nacaduba angusta kerriana

The Vinous Oakblue ??
Absolutely not sure about the ID. Big size (same as a centaurus).
It should be correctly A. athada although it looks suspiciously like an A. silhetensis with fat spots 6 & 7.
However, C&P4 does show athada with these 2 spots sinuous.

Thanks Seow, could be silhetensis too. :thinking:
2 new finds in a dry and empty KPG:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8380/8...66551d30_c.jpg
Arhopala sp. 1

Arhopala sp. 2
Both medium size.
Post 3.
1. A. ariana.
It is either A. ariana or elopura but A. elopura has very poorly contrated spots/markings.
2. Likely A. atosia.
It is either A. atosia or lurida, but atosia has poorly contrasted spots, & spot 4 & 5 staggered (not in line.).

After a long time inactive in my home island, I went today for a 2 hours trek on a poor secondary forest area, just to come back with a not so common species, my first for KPG

The Colour Sergeant - Athyma nefte subrata, female
Again loooong time between exits, but today, bad weather, windy and boooooring I was out again for a couple of hours, but the goddess of the forest has been magnanimous:
In order:
+ 2 for Phangan
+ 1 for Samui-Phangan
A strange unidentified Arhopala
A long time not seen rarity

The Emerald - Cyaniriodes libna andersonii
Good catch! First time seeing the Stiboges puddling. Most of the time, it's under a leaf!

The Arhopala is aberrant, but is otherwise the common A. atosia.
TL Seow:cheers:
Lovely photos, Antonio. Looks like the year has been slow but hopefully things are picking up for you.

Congrats on the Stiboges,:gbounce:. I will have to update my site. I knew your other +1's would eventually be found on KPN! And lovely to see the Emerald again, I, too, have not seen it for a couple of years.
I have not been out for a while either, but I know I must. I just keep waiting for the weather to improve, but today looks just as windy as the last two weeks (and cloudy as well)!:thumbsdow
