The return of the King!

[Common Rose]

Spotted this King in the drain at AH today. Initially thot it was one of the Autumn Leafs that I saw earlier. However, when I move closer, notice that it was bigger than AL! Suspected that it must be that one. Quickly unscrewed off Nikon 3T and took 2 record shots from ard 2m away. Once confirmed the id, I back off a couple of steps and climbed up the bank and approached it at right angle.

Presenting ... ... the ...

Palm King

My 90th species. 10 more to go ...

According to Ross, PK is one of the first butt to be sighted in AH, but she has not seen it for a long time.

There's only one drain in the Butts Trail, the one where the wooden bridge is on.

This King is really huge, bigger than the one I shot at my place.
Congratulation, I think you have added one more new species, edging closer to the century mark.

Thanks Rustic, Falcon, Cycad Blue, Federick, and Elbowed Pierrot.

Looks like it's feeding on some damp mosses...

This bugger, seldom can get a good pristine specimen. Even when I was collecting, 9/10 will have torn wings, and particularly the hindwing tornal area (which is also damaged in your specimen)

Great catch nevertheless...
