Did you see any of the Charaxes spp there? My old hunting ground near Kuala Woh had several species all at one location. :thinking:

The weather was not very good when we were at Kualoa Woh (it was on 1 May). The place was full of locals having family outings . Many Raja Brrook's Birdwing but we didn't see any Charaxes species, not even the Tawny Rajah.

We saw two of them late in the afternoon; they love the brickwall very much. This is the only shot I have when it was resting on a leaf.

Great variety of butts you've got there. Enjoy the series very much. Thanks for sharing!

Great underside shot of the B. recta.:grin2:
How come there are always so few lycaenids?

Great series, Federick. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Hmm, Kuala Woh.... :thinking:

Very good collection Federick!

Next BC outing Ipoh ??:)

:cheers:

A great series, Fed. I am very envious of the upperside shot of the Xanthotaenia busiris busiris. I have been trying for 3 years to get one, and I am still waiting!!!!

Up in the northern part of the peninsula, the Autumn Leaf is more likely to be the Malaysian subspecies pratipa. The subapical white spots are missing when compared to the subspecies bisaltide or australis.

1 Common Pierrot
2 white dragontail
3 Rajah Brooke's Birdwing
4 Libythea myrrha hecura
