More Plain Tiger at AH.

Today was the day I witnessed the Butt Fairy of AH ( Madam Rosalind ) released new born Plain Tiger at the trails. The weather was cloudy and here she was introducing the new butt to it enviroments. Waiting to dry their wings for freedoms. These pictures is a record shots of the released butts.
Thanks for her dedicated effort we get to photographs more butts at the trails. Fourth pictures is a portrait of Blue Glassy Tiger.

Alamak! After so long of ID'ing, still cannot differentiate between Blue Glassy and Dark Glassy Tiger?? Must give you extra tuition lessons already. ;P

Abdul, so lucky you were !
Very nice and sharp shots on the Plain Tiger.

My pick is #1. The white in #2 and #3 seems over.

Hey Commander--- Blurr cannot access your checklist. So was guessing.

Aiyah... must send you for remedial classes leh...

Cannot access checklist? Go for the main website pages lor...

wow, lovely pix! love the one of the dark glassy.
looks like today's the birthday of many many butterflies!

Abdul, this was shot with the Tamron or your 70-200VR?

Clean background. #1's composition could be improved by cropping off the right side where there are hot spots. #4 is a well-balanced composition where the butt does not dominate the whole shot.

The lighting of Pic #1 is :thumbsup:

Kudos to the Butt Master Khew, Gan and Simon. All their hardwork is reflected by more species being records and detail study. And More BUTT Flu.

Thanks all for the valuable comments.

Somehow I think the previous version of #3 looked better, because had more background illumination.

Nice stuff Abdul.

Hello Abdul,
Nice meeting you in AH. Nice capture of these newly released Plain Butterflies.
Regards, << Yong >>

hohoho...

hi guys, back from tekong, my calotropsis all gone... my blood flower gone too... now having food crisis... today saw 6 plain tigers at my balcony.... 8 lime caterpillars.... looks like when i'm away, they decide to come out and play... argh... missed all the action!

my temperate cuttings of my butterfly bush have bloomed and they have been attracting lotsa butts... sheesh :bsmile:

clayton, wah, so exciting, with so many new caterpillar babies in your nursery! Happy Fatherhood!! ;-)

Sorry but I'm a little confused about the origin of those butterflies at AH. R they supposed to be wild or bred in-house then released?

Thanks for the clarification.

The majority are wild. They just come for the host plants that we've planted at the trail. The caretakers at AH just help to nudge nature along by preventing the caterpillars from getting eaten by lizards or parasited by wasps and flies. The breeding is just a side line. Even without captive breeding, the butts will be there, as the trail is a free-ranging trail without any enclosures.
