Petchabun province, North Thailand, February and March 2017

2 new trips, of few days each, in low butterfly (dry) season in this very interesting Thai province.

The Burmese Saturn ♂ - Zeuxidia masoni

That doesn't look too bad for "low" activity...

The Neptis namba is really beautiful. The ground looks so cracked though.

Yes, the place is very interesting, Jonathan.

Several rarities, more during the month of March, but extremely dry after the winter/dry season.

I'll show the find of March soon, and I'll be back there at the end of September.

Few more species, made me very happy because first or among the first pictures in Thailand:
