Great skills! Can't tell any difference at all. Learned some PS skills from watching the demo by Lecturer Bobby. :thumbsup:

Adding 2 more from the Jeriau Waterfall puddling spot shot on the 2nd day.

Euploea radamanthus radamanthus (Magpie Crow)

Jamides pura
http://dashwolfe.smugmug.com/Nature/.../IMG4229-L.jpg

The Sunbeam is Curetis freda.

There is an error in the key & text of C&P4.
The band on the hindwing is shifted inwards (basad) in space 1b & not space 2 in C. insularis.
This is the last segment after the notch in the pic.
The error is corrected in Fleming's book.

The Caerulean is either J. pura or J. zebra.
Since pura is much the commoner species, it is probably this species.
Note all the lines are fairly lined up.

Moreover the underside is quite white and in this example the upperside is a brighter and lighter blue.

The Halpe species could not be matched to anything in the book or on the net at the moment.

Hasora is H. vitta.

The puddling skippers are Pithauria marsena.

The big Archduke is something special. It is the male of Lexias cyanipardus.

Thanks Seow for the ID :) Is this supposed to be a rare species?

Lovely series Chng! Cutting down the sharpening would reduce the haloing around the butterfly, especially around the antenna.

Good comparison of Polyura athamas and Polyura moori that David also shot in his earlier series. Luckily some of you managed to grab that shot of the lil' bugger sitting on that rock. :cheers:
