Les, you were at the river when the shots were taken. I have shown you the pics at the river when the shots are taken and asked whether the first one is a Delias. :bsmile: :bsmile:

Right on Aaron. Do you have a book on Borneo butterflies ?

The 1st one is Drina cowani. The tails are white. Also D. donina is not found in Borneo. ( correction D. donina is replaced by the closely allied & similar D. ninoda in Borneo; note ninoda is an anagram of donina.)

( Rechecking since the tails of donina/ninoda can also be whitish. The extra white see-thru should confirm the ID is correct. See

Was I? I don't remember. I only recall seeing the one P. cornelia. But then, my head was still playing up after my accident (my excuse anyway:grin2: ).

Anyway, nice to see you starting to show your rarities. and good to see my suspicions on the Drina mariae seconded.

:bsmile: My spy satellite happened to pass by that area when I zoomed in and saw LC and Nelson proning down to shoot the Glorius Begum? :grin2:

At that moment, We were just collecting poops for bait. :bsmile: :bsmile:
