Penang Trip Part 1 - In the field

[Painted Jezebel]

Firstly, I will update you on the curious affair of the Zebra Blue, (Leptotes plinius). It is still at the International Departure Lounge of Samui Airport, and I am still yet to see it antwhere else! I managed another photo of the species, but they are not good enough for posting here. However, I later noticed that one photo showed a female ovipositing. Unfortunately, I did not take a photo of the hostplant for IDing, so that will have to wait until I go back in 3 months.

The weather in Penang was mainly cloudy, so I did not have much opportunity to see many butts, but I did manage to find some which I believe are quite interesting, and not posted here very often, if at all.

1) This will be familiar to you, The Assyrian (Terinos terpander robertsia).

2) Probably new to most of you, The Malayan Ringlet (Ragadia makuta siponta)

3) I hope I am right on this one. I have based my ID on the underside spots. If anyone would care to correct me, although I will be dosappointed, it is considered very rare, please do so. A female Pseudokerana fulgur (Orange Banded Lancer)

4) Probably one of the common species, but I have not seen upper hindwings with five spots before, any suggestions?
