From the more scalloped lower termen of the forewing, I gathered the Helen is a male Papilio nephelus chaon.
From the Yutaka map, ssp annulus (Which may have the forewing unmarked) falls short of your area.

Another short visit to this beautiful hard to visit National Park (close to my wife's family) and I got a few shots. It looks like on the west side of Thailand, after the end of the raining season, is not the best time for butterflies.
This what I got:

You really must talk a walk up to Hin Lad Waterfall, I'll show you about a hundred of these in 1/2 hour! You need to walk in deeper forest on KP I think!:)Quote:

But congratulations on the Stiboges upperside. Most unusual, as we only normally get to see the underside, and you got the Drina again.:gbounce:
One more short trip, with Les and after Langkawi. The park is not so crowded yet, but we manage in one and half day to get something interesting:
Not a common encounter

Great shots for sure! Must have been so much fun... plus, you just whistle and they fly and land on your hand... or wherever you want them for a great photo.

Excellent shots of some rarities, Antonio! :cheers:
Thank you Khew!
With a shot of the Hypolycaena merguia skapane Les got and with 3 sightings (without any pic) of the elusive Lycaenopsis haraldus renonga (the Felder's Hedge Blue) the trip would be a real success :cry:
