=) Thank you Khew for organizing. That was my first butt survey outing. Fun!
Dedicate to all, zebra's butt at the ZOO.

One more for our young Jonathan. He was really persistence in chasing the skittish Peacock Pansy.

Here are a few record shots I managed to snatch during the survey.

It is Borbo cinnara, the Formosan Swift.
This one is more typical, greenish hair & greenish tinge on the hindwing plus the usual 3 big spots in space 2 ,3, & 6.


POst 16.
The Bush brown is highly unusual. The pattern is that of M. perseoides, but without both the forewing cell striae & the toothmark at vein 1b of the hindwing dark line, it is probably a form, perhaps semi dry season type of M. visala.
