Cameron Highlands

Surprisingly very low number of butt in highlands. While wifey was busy buying vegetables. I snapped two butts in hurry. One of it I can't find the ID. Hope someone can ID it. Thanks.

Malayan Jezebel (Delias ninus ninus)

Attachment 9381

Unknown to me.

Attachment 9382

cheers ! :cheers:

The 2nd one, looks close to the underside of Orange Tip or some Appias, C&P4 do not show the underside so can only refer to Pisuth, suspect to be Appias pandione ?

Can't see the pictures :sweat:

Yes SC, Appias pandione lagela (Banded Puffin). I do not think the forewings are sufficiently falcate to be A. lalassis.

Orh, you went up to CH too? pretty close to where you stay though. Agree that the butt activities are pretty low up there.

Wifey wanted to grab some vegetables and I wanted to check out the butts in CH. So we went... :bsmile:

Les, is that a D. pasithoe? I often encounter D. ninus at Cameron Highlands rather than D. pasithoe. :thinking:

Congratulations, SK, right again. The hind wing pattern tells me immediately that is Delias ninus.

It has been a thoroughbly miserable day today, and I have not been concentrating.

Thanks, Les. Always could count on the world's premier expert on Delias genus. :)

LC, please amend accordingly. Your first shot is that of a Malayan Jezebel (Delias ninus ninus) :cheers:

Thank you for the comment, but under no circumstances could I be called that!. There are at least 10 people who know a damn site more than I do.

However, I am the most easily contactable fanatic!
