Pics from Taiwan Mucha Zoo

For No 9, if you look very closely, you will just be able to pick out a tiny amount of pale blue colouring on the forewing upperside. This is Kaniska canace canace.

Woah! Many nice photos!

yup, that's why I asked BJ whether #6 is the same butt as #5. The marking on #5 match those of S. hypselis

On further check, both #5 & #6 are having the more prominent pointed tail at hindwings, so I think they're the same species.

But the problem is, take a look on this photo & the web page, you will know why i puzzle abt the ID :mad2:

The ID key (can some one help to translate pls): 姬黃三線蝶翅背有三條橙色帶狀斑紋，但上翅中室內的橙色條紋連續不中斷，而黃三線蝶此條紋中斷成兩部分。

thx Les & SC. Give me sometimes to check my archive and I'll come back to you guys, thx! & :cheers:

Ya hor, but this jester has one small spot at the apex and s. hypselis on u'r webpage does not. Translation: S. hypselis has three orange bands but the bands r continuous unlike s. lilaea in which da bands r divided into 2.
