It is a pity that the Malayan Batwing A. nox have become so rare in the peninsula that no-one have been able to shoot one yet. The female is very vulnerable to capture as she flies slowly and low among the forest undergrowths.
In the dim forest light the whitened wingtips appear like a pair of white moths in synchronised flight. A truly remarkable sight.
