    Les,

    #7 Abisara species , can exclude Abisara saturata kausambiodes (Malayan Plum Judy ) female, firstly as it appears to be a male with 2 pairs of legs. The flair and rather pointed feature of the hindwing extension at space 4 of a female Malayan Plum Judy is also absent and instead it is rounded in shape.

    That left it either being a Abisara gezaa niya or a Abisara kausambi kausambi , the other two Abisara Species that are present in Peninsula Malaya.

    The oblique angle of the shot make one of the main key feature of identifying the Abisara giza niya difficult to make out :

    "Underside of hindwing discal band dislocated at vein 4"

    If one scutinize the hindwing extension at vein 4 area with vein 5 , it shows that it is not prominently dislocated to confirm it as a A.geza niya .

    To venture an educated guess base on what can be discerned...... it is possible that it is a A kausambi kausambi.
