Khao Luang National Park and its waterfalls - June/July 2018

During the last two months I have visited several times slopes of this beautiful mountain the with photographer groups, with Les Day or alone and I found 5 locations very interesting and productive.

Hi, Antonio, the one labelled "zambra" is actually A. lurida

This refer to Post 2 pic1.

I concur it should be Arhopala lurida.

I had actually look at this for some times. Because the inner margins of spot 6 & 7 are perfectly in line, this would by the key have completely eliminated A. lurida & atosia.
The dislocation of FW spot 4 is slight which is also seen in A zambra sometimes. Also A. zambra do not alway have the costal spot 10 wide as seen in Fleming L217.
Typical A. zambra.
