Went to MacRitchie this morning and saw this MTJ flitting among leaves. Have encountered another MTJ around the same area few months back. Guess the host plants are near by.

Wow, that's pretty...which trail did you take?
very pristine copy.
i notice that its "licking" the plant its on the same way the harlequins do it too.
In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.
-Mark-
All the Abisara species exhibit this rather unique feeding pattern in using the bent of the proboscis to feed on the surface of leaves.
This is also true on the Paralaxita species like the Lesser Harlequin , The Malay Red Harlequin, The Common Harlequin and the Banded Red Harlequin that I have observed at Selai Endau Rompin.
