Beautiful shots, guys.
Amazing number and variety of butterfly.
Like the Odina decorata (are you sure this is not a moth, lol), Tawny Angle, Zebra Blue.
If this website is correct, Post 7 No 6 is a male Miletus ancon.

:what: Thank you all for sharing. I also want to meet these butts especially Kalima limborgi, but again I might just missed it because of its leaf-like appearance. I am really curious about the wingspan of Kalima. Is it comparable to Doleschallia bisaltide pratipa (Autumn Leaf)? :embrass:
cj, Kallima sps. are larger than the Autumn Leaf.
Lets get rid of my ufos early, so we can end on a high!
Hesperiidae:
LD14) Very small skipper. Spots look odd to me. Sorry, never allowed me an underside shot, though for a fleeting moment I did see it and it was unmarked.
LD15) Slightly larger skipper. Again, the location of the spots seem strange. No underside shot again.
LD16) Could this be Celaenorrhinus aurivittatus? It looks fifferent from the recently seperated C. cameroni I regularly come across in Samui.
LD17) The only Potanthus sp. I saw all trip!
LD 14 Suada swerga : subapical one big one small; discal spots likewise ; pale mark in space 1b; bodyshape & wingshape.
I think you have the size wrong here since appearance indicates moderate size.
LD 15. The series of FW submarginal spots indicates it is Halpe.. Blur has cause the spots to look large.
The 2 closest matches, H. hauxwelli & porus have whitsh spots. Perhaps afternoon sun cause colour imbalance.
Probably closer to H. hauxwelli.
Correction: H. hauxwelli have larger yellowish spots, so this should be H. hauxwelli.

H. porus.

LD 16. This looks like C. cameroni.;band more orange, lower end more rounded & reached to tornal angle.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/90550010.html
C. aurivittatus. band paler , narrower(?always narrow at costa); lower end smaller, sharper & ends slightly higher up from tornus.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/90550001.html
LD17. Potanthus juno. Upperside 2 subapical spots ;spot 5 1/2 that of spot 4.(like P. serina).
Note on the underside, all 3 subapical spots are present.

An unusual meeting of three different Pierrots (Lycaenidae, Polyommatinae):
1st: The Banded Blue Pierrot - Discolampa ethion ethion
2nd: The Common Pierrot - Castalius Rosimon Rosimon
3rd: The Elbowed Pierrot - Caleta edna noliteia
(there was around a fourth one too, The Straight Pierrot (Caleta roxus roxana), but not a chance to get a picture together with the other cousins ;-)
