Right on Aaron. Do you have a book on Borneo butterflies ?

I don't currently have one but i have scanned some pages from D' Abrera in the national library.

Nelson, use a pair of chopsticks next time. It will be easier, that's what Teo taught us .

All the shots are very nice shots from all of you, I'm still waiting for more

[Blue Nawab]

Wow, many beautiful shots from you guys, awaiting for more surprises!

At that moment, We were just collecting poops for bait.

Ever tried rotten prawn, Lc.
It is probably the most potent bait.

Not the 'Wow' effect of Nelsons (I missed most of the great ones ), but two more that I am hoping to have confirmation of ID.

1) Neptis duryodana duryodana?

2) Female Tanaecia munda waterstradti? I thought, at first it was T. palguna, but I can not see that the latter is found on Borneo.

Both are correct.
1. The two elongated spots in space 2 & 3.
2. In each of the whitish bands in space 2, 3, & 4,(from termen to rounded inner end) the arrowtips reach halfway or more.

Some of the Bornean subspecies have been upgraded to full species.
