Look like the butt season is in full swing now. I was able to shoot Grand Imperial (TBC), Narrow Spark (TBC), Yellow Chequered Lancer and Arhopala Ammon Ammon within a small area in CCA. I am not happy with the qualify of the shots, but if all IDs are confirmed, then it was a +4 outing for me.
After a closer examination of the markings near the tornal area for the GI (TBC), I now have doubt about it being a GI. It seems to match these markings for Jacoona better (C&P4 plate 48, figs 1 & 2).
Les, I did not have a look at the upperside of the Arhopala. It was found in a shady area under forest canopy, and the butt did not see the need to sun its wings in such a situation.
Congrats Horace on the +3 and if you include the Jacoona, +4. That should be the Jacoona anasuja and it is very localize in that particular spot. Here're a couple of shots of this butt from that spot.
Well captured, Richard.
The undersides of GI and Jacoona anasuja do look alike.
I have not shot both yet. Pity that I will be out of shooting action for another weekend otherwise I will spend my weekends camping there.
