I would normally expect moths to come to my lights, so I was pleasantly surprised when this Rachana jalindra burbona (Banded Royal) appeared last night. This is only a moderately rare species on Samui, seen occasionaly every year.

My home is not near virgin forest, there is very little left here. However, there is secondary woodland nearby.Originally Posted by kohcherhern

I have, in the past, been visited by Horaga syrinx, Rapala dieneces, Surendra quercetorum, Abisara saturata and Euthalia adonia. I get many Tagiades (3 species) and Ypthima species are regular visitors too. They are actually very annoying, as it causes some disruption to my furniture as I try to get them out of the house. Often I release them outside and they fly straight back in again!
Only once have I not released the specimen, and that was when the soon to be famous Hasora mavis flew in. It will be appearing shortly in Pisuth's second edition!
