Two UFOs.
The first I reckon is Dohia evelina compta from the distinctive forewing leading edge markings.
The second is an Arhopala......without the upper 0ff it goes into the Arhopala Bin ...... any one want a headache??:bsmile:

Guess who visited us after the ER trip at home while we were having beers.
My flash failed again and I have to switch to R1C1.

Sunny, you have your first photo wrongly named!:police: Wakey, Wakey!:grin2:
Nelson, fantastic photos. I love the Malay Red Harlequin upperside.
The shot beneath that is Coelites epiminthea epiminthea (Straight-Banded Catseye) . I caught a fleeting glimpse of it, but no photo.
The next is a Mycalesis species, either M. anapita or M. patiana. Not having seen the live specimen, I can not tell which.
The Faun species is Faunis gracilis (Narrow Striped Faun). Incedentally, I believe someone has managed a photo of Faunis kirata (Broad-Striped Faun), please post it!
As for the Jamides species, I'll leave that for one of Jamides fans to solve, I am having enough trouble with the Arhopala species I got.:mad2: :thinking: :sweat: :bsmile:
Must join you guys there next time!
Les ,
Thanks ! Corrected.;P
How nice to have thisQuote:

This Jamides specimen could be Jamides virgulatus. Besides the large yellow tornal area in the hindwing stretching into space 5 (and obliterating the postdiscal white striae in spaces 3 and 4 in doing so), the basal striae in the hindwing is more or less lined up as well. Both features are ID keys for J. virgulatus. :grin2:Quote:

1D3 has survived many trips there on the river , so is the D40 !;P
I think that is girl girl Ellen's Canon 40D and C180..... when she went off to kiss the frog. :grin2:
>_0... Yiming kneed me in the head with his power knee guard in jealousy over my Luxury canon lens and i got carried away by the river while unconscious.↲
Aiyo, i shoot with so many of you so long only unker sunny recognise my camera! Haha! Like that die liao nobody know! X_x
Les, thanks for the comments and assistance in IDing the butts. The Coelites epiminthea epiminthea is a compliment from Sunny as he spotted it and graciously provided me an oppoturnity to have a shot at it. :grin2:Quote:

Almost all except one or two of my 50 shots were ruined by the bees. clutter of other BFs and blur wings.....here is one that is relatively clean....work with the power of Photoshop CS5 (Trail Version) latest content aware brush.;P

Wow! Neat work! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Cheers! :cheers:
Everyone's shots are so good...and rare butterflies some more. I'm embarrassed to post mine..but i gotta start somewhere right?:D Only 2 lousy shots of common butterflies..and I don't even know the names :P
orange albatross ? from what i heard...

Kurt ,
For a starter , these are excellent shots!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
My first few butterfly shots when I first started, all cannot make it !!!:bsmile:
The first one is Appias nero figulina (Orange Albatross)
Ther second one is Saletara liberia distanti (The Malaysian Albatross)
Cheers
Kurt, it is way better than mine. Just take a look at these, Pai Seh... :embrass:

my sole contribution, a common faun (?)

Marcus, I think that was the Faunis kirata (Broad-Striped Faun) that Les was mentioning about. He should be able to confirm it. :)
Here's my last few shots to share.

From the arrangement and equal size of fore and hind wing white ocelli ; the size of median band and dark tornal area , it fits the Key description in C&P4 as Faunis kirata , also visually as depicted in C&P4 Plate 18 figure12 and Pisuth Plate 47 A3.
Cheers!
very fruitful outing guys! keep the pictures rolling in!
Sorry, but it is not Saletara. This is one of the Appias species I mentioned in an earlier comment.Quote:

Firstly, the Yeomen of the Guard (Gilbert & Sullivan light opera)
1) Cirrochroa satellita satellita (Satellite Yeoman)
2) Cirrochroa orissa orissa (Yellow-Banded Yeoman)
3) Cirrochroa emelea emelea (Malay Yeoman), with attendant Phalanta alcippe alcesta (Small Leopard)
4) Cirrochroa tyche rotundata (Common Yeoman)
to be cont....
....... cont
And the rest
1&2) Amblypodia narada taooana - male (Blue Leaf Blue)
3) Lotongus calathus calathus (White tipped Palmer) - it never got used to the flash!
4) Rachana jalindra burbona (Banded Royal) - male (very distant and heavily cropped shot, so just for record purposes).
5) Allotinus horsfieldi permangus (Common Darkie) - a large species
6) I need help with this one. I know that Terinos clarissa malayana (Malayan Assyrian) was present, but this one appears to have a much less ornate underside, could it possibly be Terinos adita teuthras (Large Assyrian)- female? Awful photo, but needs to be shown for ID.
Arhopalas to follow if or when I can ID them!
Well done Les, glad to see so many new finds this trip. Especially Cirrochroa, they are quite similar for newbie like me. :bsmile:
Continue with uploading my pics...
Yet to check other pics.... Busy preparing for my Taiwan trip... but no shooting, work! work! work! :cry:

I am reasonably sure of it. It appears to have more in common with that than A. albina, wet season form.Quote:

Thanks Philip. Damn, I think you are right:embrass: . I was misled by the very small size of the specimen and the broader postdiscal brown band on the forewing. However, on closer inspection, the hindwing marginal and tornal markings are more like Rachana jalindra burbona. I am changing the post accordingly. Sorry about the confusion everyone!Quote:
