Some Butterfly Sighting Records in 2012

Thanks.

Khew, I have thought of it but I did't have the correct equipment to do it when this guy was at a distance from me.
I guess BB is not an ideal shooting ground for many of us.
Hope you guys have found its location.

Congrats on the +1, Federick :cheers:

Saw a number of them flying around but they were too skittish and too far for any decent shot. :-( One of them seemed to be trying to oviposit on both the legume plant on site and the mile-a-minute vine, but no eggs were found.

Definitely not an easy site to take pics due to the nature of the site and that the butts were visiting vegetation over-growing some of the graves. :sweat:

Well done ! At least we know where to find them now.
It is a matter of time we find its host plants.

Congratz Federick. That's a nice +1 :thumbsup: :cheers:

Well done, Horace. You are our advance party. This Friday BC members will flood the site. :bsmile:

But you've got a point there. If the butt perches on top of a grave, would anyone step on top the grave, knowing that there is someone buried underneath? :thinking:

Some of the abandoned graves are overgrown with vegetation and their tombstone broken/collapsed. Hence you might not even know that you are already stepping on a grave as you approach the butt for a shot.

I need help in confirming the ids for these two species.

1,2 and 3 - Which Abisara species ?
4. Nacaduba sp ?

1, 2, & 3 are female Abisara geza.
The band is strongly angulate at vein 4 on the hindwing.

4. is the female of Ionolyce helicon.
The forewing postdiscal band is mostly disjointed; hindwing submarginal spot in space 3 sharply pointed; note wingshape.

TL Seow:cheers:

Thanks Dr Seow.

1 and 2. Malayan Eggfly (Hypolimnas anomala anomala) - form nivas

3. Jamides sp - whihc one ?
