    Dear Doctor Seow,

    Continuing my journey learning how to ID skipper, and i require some assistance on the following skippers, all which are taken in Singapore this year

    Skipper 1 - which Caltoris species is this? Is there any comparison picture to tell apart the various caltoris species, as i find it a bit hard to get the proper terms on specific dots on the wings to see the differences
    Skipper 1.jpg

    Skipper 2-Another caltoris species?
    skipper 9.jpg

    Skipper 3 -Another Caltoris species?
    Skipper 4.jpg

    Skipper 2.jpg

    Skipper 5-Is this also a lesser dart as well?
