    Looks like quite a few +'s for Semakau today. I think Ben also nailed one of the Pelopidas. Great shots of the Blue Pansy. I'm sure we can use one of these excellent upperside shots for the 2nd edition of the book.

    The Brown looks like a M. perseus. Anyone has any views?

    I've got a Jamides sp. and also a Dark Glassy Tiger (anyone shot it as well?) that I'll post later. So looks like a +3 or more!

    Our checklist for Semakau was at 40 species so far.

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or one.
