Operation Ipoh - Day 1 (Gua Tempurung)

[Bluebottle]

Many thanks to Loke for planning and organizing this trip for Khew, Cher Hern and me. And especially so for driving us around for the passed 3 days. He even selected the right dates to be there as the weather was just nice for butt shooting. Lucky for us, rain only came when we were leaving Ipoh.

Don't mention, Chng, Cher Hern. The pleasure is mine to host you guys. I enjoyed the trip to the Dragon Moat and The King's Place as much as you guys do!

Loke, the Helen is a Red Helen (Papilio helenus helenus) and not the one we find in Singapore.

[The Plane]

Some record shots, not sure the ID of the other 2. Need the help of Seow to ID them.

Tagiades gana gana


Unknown #1?


Unknown #2?

[Commander]

Does anyone have a better upperside shot of #2? I have one lousy cropped shot, and it looks like the Red Spot Marquis (Bassarona recta monilis) with its forewing band's costal spot in alignment with the band.

I only managed to shoot the underside.
