Haha... looks like you had the best buttday present ever! :bsmile:
The one that needs ID is an Orange Albatross (Appias nero figulina)
Yes, the Lacewing is a Batik Lacewing (Cethosia biblis perakana)
Wah! Uncle Cher hern! So many wonderful shots! :what:
Yes the orange UFO in the first post should be orange albatross.
... ... And when you told me you were going to penang it never hit me that you would be going for butts... ... :bsmile: :bsmile: :bsmile:
Nice series, Cher Hern :cheers:
Hmm... serious butt flu indeed :)
You are really fast to post these pictures. Pity that I didn't have much time to shoot there.
Will post my shots taken at the PBF end of next week.
Nice birthday shots :thumbsup: , Cher Hern. Really got butt flu :bsmile: but well worth the trip :cheers: .
Cher Hern:
What a great day to celebrate... and a great way too. Looks like you had a really nice birthday.
I'm going to attach an image of a butterfly that I have not yet idenified, but that looks somewhat like your Autumn Leaf. Any ideas? William
Could be a Discophora sp.:/
Thanks Khew for the IDs. Actually looking forward to visit the behind scene for Penang Butterfly garden but unfortunately not successful for this trip.Quote:

Very nice, I always enjoy going there.
The Baron sp? is Dolpha evelina (Red-Spot Duke)
Just one correction I am sure about, your Orange Albatross is actually Cepora nadina (Lesser Gull).
As this is from a Butterfly Garden, I am not able to state which ssp. it is, as I do not know where the original stock came from.
Thanks Les for the ID updates! :cheers:Quote:

15. Which Crow ?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...-what-crow.jpg
My last visit to PBF was in Dec 2005. After it was upgraded and re-opened recently, it has many more species now.
16. The Common Earl (Tanaecia julii bougainvillei ) @ Hotel Equatorial's Garden
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...CommonEarl.jpg
Nice shots. Looks like PBF was adding quite a lot of species to be in time for their big anniversary celebrations... :thinking:
Fed, that is no Crow. That's the Great Blue Mime (Chilasa paradoxa aenigma) which was on the original Singapore checklist, but is now extinct in Singapore.
Khew, thanks for the id - no wonder I could not find a good match.
