Noticed this yellow tinted Jay, on both sides of the hindwing base area, amongst the Blue Jay and Bluebottle puddlers at Gunong Pulai.
Is there a Yellow Jay??

This one is referred to as the Striped Jay (Graphium bathycles bathycloides). There is a lookalike species known as the Veined Jay (Graphium chironides malayanus) which has almost similar markings.
Looks like you had a nice time out there shooting these butts. :)
This was the listing of Malaysian Graphium spp. that I collated some time back, with their common names :
Graphium evemon eventus - Blue Jay
Graphium doson evemonides - Common Jay
Graphium eurypylus mecisteus - Great Jay
Graphium bathycles bathycloides - Striped Jay
Graphium chironides malayanum - Veined Jay
Graphium arycles arycles - Green Jay
Graphium agamemnon agamemnon - Tailed Jay
Thanks Khew for the ID and listing of the Jays.
Brings back memories of Endau Rompin. We used to shoot four,five or more species puddling at one shot.
Here's an old shot of a Great Jay (Graphium euryplus mecisteus) and a Green Jay (Graphium arycles arycles) puddling together. :)
Check the old ER threads and you should be able to see all the puddlers together. Soon Chye, Ben Jin, Simon and a few of us should have posted those from our past ER trips.
missed those ER trip...
Wanna go sometime soon? :whistle:Quote:
