Nice shots CM! Is your new year's resolution to go out and shoot more? :bsmile:
Yes, Ant. It is, indeed.
Lovely shots. Lacewings are so beautiful.
Wasteland at neighbourhood. A Jachinta Eggfly I believe?

Very nice shots CM. It's nice to see you back in action and posting these lovely shots. Although you are more active on FB :)
Thanks, Mark.
FB is easier to access via iPhone. ;-P
CM, very nice :thumbsup: . Like the 2nd and 4th for its composition and clean bg. :cheers:
Haha that's true for most. But I never did like it myself. I actually find it more convenient to surf BC on the fly when I am transiting from work and home. It's a good time to catch up on the posts and be updated. That's if I can get a seat and not sleeping haha.
Wow. Two beautiful butts from Kampar :cheers:
May be I should pay Kampar a visit next time I go home ;P
May be we can arrange and go back together? :)
Loke and CM,
What we need is a local contact with a car rental company either from Ipoh or Kampar ..............so that we can either go by long distance buses to kampar or Ipoh or fly-in to Ipoh and take a rental car and hit the trails.
All the butt hot spots are all within an hour if we operate out of Grand Kampar Hotel which is fairy new and cheap and well maintained and centrally located from all the butt hot spots.
From Kampar
To Gua Tempurung 15 minutes
To Ulu Gerok 45 minutes
To Kata Kijang 45 minutes
To Kuala Woh approx 50 minutes
If you intend to drive , it will take approx. 7-8 hours to reach Kuala Woh from second link including lunch break and kopi-o breaks along the way at highway speed limit of 110km/h, , we did it in 6 hours ...... at Sunny's speed !!;P
:cheers:
Found on my bathroom's tiles at 9pm. :hmmm:

The 3rd is interesting but too dark to make out if the hindwing is evenly ochreous. We'll just have to assumed it is P. mathias.

Thank you, Seow.SabahQuote:

Go "eat air" so long, just got one shot? :)
Ha! No sight of butterflies at KK, only saw the Cycad Blue and this was shot using my P&S at the Kinabalu Park.
Looks like you got a rarity.
This can only be Ragadia annulata since it is not R. makuta umbrata, the only other possibility.
TL Seow:cheers:
Thank you for the ID suggestion, Seow. :)Quote:

Very eventful day at Eco Green.
Many species!
Nice shots, Chee Ming. :cheers:
I guess the Silverlines are still out there but the number of pristine one may be dwindling fast. Their "decoy" strategy seems to be working well but sorry to see them in such a badly tattered state...
But, at least they survive.
yes Mark, quite a few species in the park. Too bad that I didnt have enough time to rally explore it.
Isn't it life, Loke? ;-) Thanks.
Nice article you did on your FB, Chee Ming. :thumbsup:
How come you didn't go there with your bestest friend? ;P
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.
TL Seow:cheers:
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.
TL Seow:cheers:
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.
