    Splendid series guys. I particularly like the 3 Jays puddling together. The juxtaposed positions of the 3 Jays help highlight the differences between the species.

    The other photos are equally stunning as well. Thanks for sharing guys! Maliau Basin will be on my must visit places after I graduate!

    Last lycaenid could be a very worn out Drupadia cinderella or even a D. cindi. I'm not so confident about this one.

    I THINK we have a D. cindarella still to come (can't remember who shot it), but I am not certain. It is definitely larger than the specimen posted already.

    Borneo has many distinctive lycaenidae, besides Sulawesi and New Guinea. Looking forward to seeing somemore!!!

    The inflight Red Harlequin by Les is good.

    Love your Appias indra and The Wizard very much, LC. Everything has to be ended by 14 Jul in Singapore, not sure about in M'sia though. I meant the Harry Porter lah.
