Lovely shots, Nelson. They are such beauties.

Those Homopterans were very interesting as well.

Oh dear, my mistake. I took this underside shot and at the same time I was trying to go after Paduca fasciata. :embrass: Thanks Les

Your photo of Paduca fasciata is actually Athyma pravana!:police: :grin2:

So you have sent it already, great. I've tried my damnest to ID it, but with absolutely no luck. I hope the wait will be worth it.

I'm also done except for the Arhopalas and a few Hesperids, on which I am really struggling.

Nelson, I love the upperside Terinos shot. I originally thought that it was T. atlita( it is very similar to T. a. miletum from N. Thailand), but now seeing the underside, I must agree that it is T. clarissa nympha.

Reply from Dr Kirton, it is a female of Lexias canescens canescens, which tends to look like that.

Slightly disappointing, never mind, now we know. It was certainly very different from the pics of other ssps I have seen. Incedentally, I believe you shot a Pantoporia species. Could you post it, so we can confirm ID?

Thanks for the Pantoporia pic. Not as clear as I remembered, so I can't be 100% sure, but there are some distinctive marks which suggest P. aurelia, not what I originally thought. Corrective comments welcome!:)

Thanks, I can now label the photo. What about the other? It looks a bit like the common P. candelarium, but I think it is something else..

Kurt,
The shots of the Theopropus elegans were superb. It really is a great looking and well disguised mantis.
