KP and other matters
Last Wednesday, Antonio was kind enough to show me his new hunting ground. A bit steep to start off with but soon levelled out a bit. The weather was not great but I was able to get a couple. Thanks for your hospitality, Antonio.
1) Neocheritra amrita amrita. It is as common as he says, I can not understand why I can't find it on Samui.
2) Celaenorrhinus asmara asmara. A highly cooperative model for a change.
The day before, I had the pleasure of meeting Masashi Maruyama, a Japanese gentleman who visits Samui every few years. He was able to advise me of 6 species that he has collected on Samui, but are not on my list. He advised me where he had seen them, I have some new areas to visit!!!
Delias descombesi eranthos - A shock! Collected in 1989- Specimen seen.
Papilio prexaspes andamanicus
Parantica aspasia
Athyma kanwa kanwa
Simiskina phalena phalena
Pratapa icetioides calculis.
