5 Saletara panda female.


LC, if you intend to try rotten prawn, remember to bring along a couple of Pandan leaves in the car. This works like magic to remove all pervasive smell like durian, fishy odour etc from the car.

Khew, if it is not a secret ingredient, what is formula B ?

Lovely shots, everyone. The trip was excellent and it was fun to meet up with other BC members. I learned much about how to attract butterflies and also better photo techniques. Hopefully, my photos will improve.

It was great meeting you, too, David. I do so hope that I did not give you my cold! Are you back in Australia yet?

Our current total is 123 species! Hopefully Rose will be pleased.

I know of at least 4 more species which were photographed, but not yet identified. They are:
1) A Danaid, possibly of Ideopsis genus. (No idea whose)
2) A long tailed Lycaenid, with red/orange hindwings that could be a Drupadia sp. (No idea whose)
3) A Morphinae sp, poss. Zeuxidia sp. (David, yours I think)
4) A Satyrid, either Mycalesis or Ypthima, I can't remember which, with large spots on the hindwing. (David, another of yours I think)
