It was a very fruitful trip for those who had visited Kampar over the weekend with great food and many rare butts.
Many thanks to LC aka Caveman and CM aka Common mime for showing us around the butts hot spots, sharing a few rare species here:
1. banded peacock
2~4. dragon tail
5. banded peacock
6. Polyura delphis concha (Jewel Nawab)
Woah! The dragontail resting on the fern is great!
I must go get my Jewel soon.
You manage very well for the first BP! :thumbsup:
BTW, where are the rest? :dance3:
Phwah!
Congratulation beautiful shots and butts most have not seen!
Never chio the rest? NVM you guys can be the guide in future expedition!:bsmile:
:cheers:
PS: :embrass: apologies CM you chioed and I missed the message!:mad2:
Great shots! Looks like you enjoyed your stay there. :)
Jewel Nawab is Polyura delphis concha. The green of the open winged Banded Peacock looks different from what I know of it. Something to do with the angle of light and flash?
That's a nice butt peeing shot you have there of the Dragontail as well. :bsmile:
Wow! Nice shots and what a fruitful trip, BJ! :thumbsup:
Interesting Nawab too!
Cheers!
What fantastic shots. Love the White Dragontail, Lamproptera curius, strange that it is supposed to be the rarer of the two dragontails, but is the one I see more often.
I am trying to get the Papilio palinurus (Banded Peacock) at an angle where the colours turn blue, but not managed it yet, but trying. Beautiful shot.
Finally, the Polyura species is most definitely NOT P. athamas. I believe that it is Polyura delphis ssp. (Jewelled Nawab). Wish I had it up my way!
BJ,
Hope you don't mind posting one Banded Peacock in flight shot here ;P

When is someone bringing me there? Great shots indeed.
The Banded Peacock is a wonderful species because of its wing scales (I can't remember, are they refractive or reflective? My Alzheimer's is catching up on me). They change colour depending on your angle to the butt. BJ's shot is probably the least reflective of any, and shows the true colour. However, 90% of shots will show a bluer tint, but I have yet to manage the right angle where the colour is a deep Royal Blue.Quote:

Finally you got the Banded peacock. :redbounce
What about other shots, i was told you guys shot more than 50 species. :what:
This is the one I told you in that area but surprisingly didn't see any of them, the Libythea myrrha hecura :-(
http://www.pbase.com/lcgoh/image/96539143.jpg
to add on..
1) Melanocyma faunula faunula
2) Parthenos sylvia lilacinus
3) Tongeia potanini glycon
4) Gerosis limax dirae
5) Sinthusa nasaka amba (Changed)
6) Not sure ??? :confused:
think you must have shot the Banded peacock before, anywhere the Libythea myrrha hecura was nicely taken :thumbsup:Quote:

I've never seen a photo of Tongeia potanini glycon (Dark Cupid) before. Very nice!:thumbsup: What type of habitat do you find it in?
With regards to the unknown specimen, it COULD be a female Miletus gallus gallus (Extended Brownie), from the lighter markings, but that is only an educated guess, based on your single photograph, and can not be construed as a definite ID. Did you, at any time see the upperside, and if so, was the hindwing entirely brown or did it have a white stripe?
The hypolycaena actually looks like a narrow spark.;-)
Not 100% sure as we only saw one. It was in the shady and wet area near the rocks.Quote:

You are right my friend, it is Sinthusa nasaka amba. :thumbsup:Quote:

5. 2 butt with big different in term of size
SC, Your HP is really powerful for macro shot. Still lots of pics to bring back even though your camera was broken down.
Sharing a pic of the Chersonesia intermedia (Dwarf).
BJ, did you invert the picture? The 10 cent coin doesnt look right? A good collection piece!
CM, #9 should be Saletara liberia distanti (Malaysian Albatross)
Thanks for the ID, SC.
Too tired to check these last night.
Anyway, I presume you meant #8 instead? ;P
Hp cam cn be so sharp?:what:
SC even took video, waiting for him to upload to Utube :)Quote:

Our total species count for Kampar (including SG's common species) could outnumber AHBT. Perhaps, we should support CM's request for a Kampar checklist. ;-)
CM: I still owe you S$ and MYR.
Hi CP, money wise, we can settle later. :)Quote:

I would not be suprise if the species seen at the area we covered last weekend matches the total number species in Singapore, if you really do a proper survey. Therefore, it is not fair to compare in this way.
With regards to the checklist, I was actually suggesting to have different photo for different checklist as the current checklist does feature some Malaysia species in the Malaysia checklist but the photos are shared. That's why we were discussing the possibility that perhaps a differenct checklist to cater for different state/area in Malaysia using the local photos.
A kind note to all, which is if you really want to classify the actual origin of the butterflies that you shot, it should not be label them as "butterflies from Kampar" simply because the area you covered as I mentioned above, is very much equivalent to the size of a Singapore island if you take the distant you travel from the Noth to the South
Butterflies of Perak, can? ;-)
Sounds good. :cheers:Quote:
