Kaeng Krachen NP, Thailand 8-13 March 2013

[Painted Jezebel]

Five of us have recently spent some time in this large Thai National Park. Antonio and I arrived a couple of days earlier than Ellen, Nelson and LC.

I would like to thank Antonio for driving me from, and particularly to the ferry, as well as to the park during our stay.

Below is a taster, showing a couple of butterflies we saw on the first full day, before the others arrived, and which were not seen again.

LD1 - A few butts that were hanging around!
LD2 - Charaxes solon sulphureus (Black Rajah). This specimen appears rather pale.
LD3 - Papilio (Chilasa) slateri slateri (Blue-Striped Mime). Definitely this subspecies, as I saw the blue veins on the upperside. The more southern subspecies lacks these blue veins.
