Good record! What a waste that I missed the trip...
Interesting to note the Australian species TSLB also found on this island :thinking:
you mean the top one is f. intermedius (male) and the bottom one is f. genutia (female)? and they not supposed to be mated?Quote:

Interesting to have the Two spotted Line Blues down at P Semakau!!
.....now getting more interesting, as to whether they actually island hopped from down south or as stowaway via imported plants.
:bsmile:
:cheers:
i only got one to share....

and this one for fun....

what were you doing the whole time? :bsmile:
Sunny, thats why, when i first saw it, i was like 'HUH!?' sure a not! until i confirm with Khew on the ID then i'm quite sure it's the TSLB. It's really interesting, since P.sem is the southern most part of Singapore right? They might have hop on or came by plants.
Cheers!
Hope everyone had a great time. :cheers:
Definitely exceeded expectations with so many species, and some curious ones too...
I'm sure John also had some new and interesting finds on the bees/wasps side too. :)
Yes, it's a very very tiring trip, trying to shoot as many butts as possible in a given time frame is indeed very challenging!
Cheers!
So here's the checklist... please add on if you saw or have shot anything else...
- Common Grass Yellow (Eurema hecabe contubernalis)
- Common Tiger (Danaus genutia genutia)
- Black Veined Tiger (Danaus melanippus hegesippus)
- Blue Glassy Tiger (Ideopsis vulgaris macrina)
- Tawny Coster (Acraea violae)
- Perak Lascar (Pantoporia paraka paraka)
- Autumn Leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide bisaltide)
- Great Eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina bolina)
- Blue Pansy (Junonia orithya wallacei)
- Common Palmfly (Elymnias hypermestra agina)
- Centaur Oakblue (Arhopala centaurus nakula)
- (Hypolycaena thecloides thecloides)
- Long Banded Silverline (Spindasis lohita senama)

- Tailless Line Blue (Prosotas dubiosa lumpura)
- Lesser Grass Blue (Zizina otis lampa)
- Palm Dart (Telicota augias augias)
- Palm Bob (Suastus gremius gremius)
Three more to add with record shots (taken with 24-105mm),the last one looks like a thecloides, shot near the entrance of the trail.
1. Palm bob,
2. Blue glassy tiger
3. Long banded silverline
4. CT or thecloides, pls comment.
looks like the thecloides, i always compare with the tails... which of course is quite inaccurate at times....
Thanks for organising the outing and nice to meet everyone.
Here is my shot on Hypolycaena thecloides thecloides.

Cheers!
looks like it's quite a good collection from a brief expedition! will there be a second visit? :bsmile:
And here's an update on ButterflyCircle's Semakau outing from Ria in her blog...
Thanks for organising the trip, Ria! I'm sure everyone had fun! :cheers:
You guys are AMAZING! The photos are fabulous!
I sure had a great time and I do hope you can come again. I believe you all are the reason for the glorious weather too!
Thank you for a marvellous trip!
Bene, this is not a CT (if CT = Common Tit)
Great captures everyone, and interesting to see the TSLB on the island. :thumbsup:Quote:
