    Malay Yeoman (Cirrochroa emalea): I saw several of these on the sandy area along the walk to Jeriau Falls.



    Banded Yeoman (Cirrochroa orrisa): Two of these were seen along the creek about 8 km from the Gap.




    Cirrochroa tyche The black marking at the wing tip seems to be uniform in width but C&P4 shows the mark extending the length of the upper wing. These were seen at both locations below the Gap.




    This Asian Leaf Butterfly (Kallima limborgii) was attracted to the over-ripe bananas that I placed in the forest along the creek 8 km from the Gap. What an amazing butterfly! It opened and closed its wings a number of times until I tried to move to a position where I could photograph the upper surface.




    Autumn Leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide): Two of these butterflies were attracted to bait one afternoon. I did not see them on any other days.




    Blue Admiral (Kaniska canace): I saw one of these lovely butterflies on the Telecom Loop and another near Jeriau Falls.




    Black-tipped Archduke (Lexias dirtea) (thanks, Aaron and Seow): I only saw two of these and both were along the creek 8 km from the Gap. They responded well to the over-ripe bananas.
