Just a few from a recent trip to Betong.
1) Taraka mahanetra (Lesser Pierrot) - A great rarity in Thailand.
2) Arhopala kinabala (Golden-Spotted Oakblue)
3) Artogeia canidia canidia (Indian Cabbage White) - The question here is what is it doing in Yala? The nearest colonies I know of are in Singapore and Northern Thailand!
Still have to process my pics.... but hopefully soon... :D
The lesser Pierrot looks so unique!
Its legs are so extravagantly hairy.:what:
I hope Les doesn't mind if I use this thread for the pictures of my two trips in Betong.

The Looped Threering - Ypthima pandocus corticaria - Not sure... :D Large size, 1000 mt altitude

Halpe ormenes is daker brown with a whiter band which at the lowwer end is angled outwards towards the tornus.
Singapore.

Ypthima pandocus is also found in the highlands.
The only other possibility Y. watsoni is smaller with even striation giving it a cleaner look.

The Golden-spotted Oakblue - Arhopala kinabala - Bad shot of a rare species

The Plain Puffin - Appias indra plana
The Jamides is J. alecto from the Y-shaped striae at the bottom of the hindwing.
I don't think that's Pratapa icetoides calculis; the yellow tornal area only touches one of the black tornal spots in icetoides whereas this specimen has the yellow tornal area in contact with both of the black spots.
Also, the bluish eyes make me suspect a Tajuria. Superficially, it resembles Tajuria ister tussis but it seems like it's not recorded from Thailand.
