Thanks. For the Lycaenids and Hesperiids, it's best not to be too hasty in ID'ing it, as even with C&P4 in front of us, there is still some difficulty in confirming the IDs of some of these lookalike species.

In the NPS case, it's more obvious cos of A. lycaenina's distinguishing feature. If it had been another Nacaduba or Jamides, I would have just said that it's a Lycaenid and stop there... ;P

Just a reminder to all Pioneer B-Pals (and one Power Member) that offering ID advice in other websites should be done responsibly and accurately. Especially in "pro" websites like NPSS. Otherwise our credibility as 'butt experts' will be in question if some other specialist around challenges our ID.

But it's not such a serious case lah... we live and learn as well, and CP's already corrected it over at NPSS. :-)

I think it is great that you guys are getting better at Id and offering help in other forums. The big butts - Papilionidae, Pieridae and Nympahlidae can usually be Id quite accurately but some of the look-alikes Lycaenidae and Hesperiidae are a bit tough. Like Khew said, for the Jamides/Prosotas/Nacaduba/Brown and orange skippers, if you are not sure just provide the family or genus name.
That is why we still have folders full of those #*% UFO skippers and Lycaenids :prrr:
