2011 KL/Fraser Butt Chase

[bluefin]

After leopard crawling and pushing the camera and lens on the puddling ground for that elusive Spotted Sawtooth ...... someone was wandering why the legs of the butterfly in his viewfinder is always obscured. ......... he was using his lenshood as a shovel.

The strangest things will happen when you come across a +1.

Luckily this happened after the vital shots are taken.

Nice shots, Sunny. I like both of those browns. I don't remember either at Fraser's. Are they difficult to find?

What you have is the Blue-branded King Crow ( Euploea eunice leucogonis).
It is recognisable by its pointed forewing tip and large size though occasionally some individuals are smaller.
In flight it is a very imposing creature because of its size and rounded blue-black forewings.

TL Seow

On rechecking I think you are right, it is E. tulliolus. The forewing does not have as much spotting; the broken forewing shows a brownish upperside; and the size would have been obvious to you.
