It is my honour to receive your compliment, Mr Khew. It is kindergarten standard as compared to yours. I am just trying to "write" lolz.
Nope, I was alone. :)

Beautiful series :cheers:
Kinda Valley? :thinking:
Is the first photo a open-wing Common Pierrot?
Hi Loke, yes, the open wing of the Common Pierrot.
Kinta Valley is the place where you and me grow up at. :P

Er, why 2D1N at Cameron?
You have an interesting skipper from Cameron Highland which is very similar to Sunny's Zela storeyi pics.
The prominent diffuse cell-end bars/spots & a faint upper cellspot indicatees it is Zela zeus optimus.

Seow, I think the label was wrong. Chee Ming shot that particular species at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park (USR) this morning.Quote:

There are just 2 things wrong with it.
1. The spot is too big.
2. The diffuse cel-end bars on both wings are prominent which is not the case with Z. storeyi.

PS. I did a rechecking by comparing Sunny's, Khew's, the paper by Dr. Kirton/Eliot and this pic.
1. The faint cellspot is probably an artefact.
2. The white spot is larger than in all the others, but probably possible.
3. The diffuse cell-end bars (the one on the forewing is just above the white spot) are harder to explain away.
It is not present in Sunny's pic & hardly in Khew's pic. In the revised paper, the bar is faint on the hindwing and absent on the forewing.
Only 2 species have the hindwing bar prominent Z. zeus & xenon.
So there is some definite doubt this is Z. storeyi.
