    Uncle Cher Hern,
    I can see that you have made off with some excellent shots. I particularly like 11, 13, 17, 26 and 32.

    BTW, I would like to point out that the Pointed Palmfly can also be IDed by the almost straight wing edges on both the fore and hindwings.

    That was an excellent series of photos, Cher Hern. It was good to see the partially open wings of the Orange-tip. Do they sit like this often? I have only encountered a few and always closed their wings when sitting.

    Neomyrina nivea hiemalis was a beauty!

    Thanks Chng! Yes, December onwards when it's raining in Singapore would be the most suitable time to go shooting.

    Thanks David! For the Orange-tip taken at Seven wells, I actually have to increase the speed to about 300-400 to freeze it. It's very fast but will always visit the same flowers.

    The Neomyrina nvea hiemalis is really a bonus for this trip...really pretty!
