[Psyche]

Thanks Nelson & Seow re durnfordi. C&P mentions it as 'a magnificent butterfly'. This does not do it justice. When we saw it in flight, a few expletives of wonder issued from LC and myself. I had to sit down and rest and slow my heart down!!!!

Thank you for the IDs, Seow. I have 7 photos with differing perspectives of the second Isma. Would it help if I sent them to you via email?

That would be great.

Here are the ??Arhopala. Apologies for any duplications of LC's post.

1) This is the one you labelled poss. A. kurzi. I had thought it may have been A. moolaiana. This is included again because of No. 2 below.
2) This was taken at the same place as No. 1, but on a different day. I am not sure if it could be the same species. (C&P4 does not show undersides.
3 & 4) A. zambra?
5 & 6) I have this small sp. as a poss. A. antimuta.
7) No idea! Picture chosen as it provides maximum forewing exposure.

Here are the odd Allotinus.

No real ideas on any, I find this Genus very difficult.

Very nice, Les and LC. The Charaxes dunfordi was a lovely find! Les, you certainly found a great variety of Arhopola.

LC is rather unhappy about this one, because, after just taking a record shot, it landed on his camera, leaving him completely helpless!

Wow, how frustrating that would be!

Les and LC ,

Great varieties of BFs despite the not so ideal weather !

I am jealous and kicking myself for unable to go!!

One more from the C & P 4 "Hall of Fame" page crossed out for you.

LC, when will we be going to shoot "Chestnut" again.

One down from the list. We (Chestnut Rajah and me) will meet again.

Not be so soon, next time should not stay at Mutiara Resort.

Errr... No! I only got bit 4 times, very good for me.

How disappointed, I got no love bite.

Wow, how frustrating that would be!

Indeed, next time I will have it pin on my wall if it landed again on my camera.

Always have chance. Just 3+ hours drive from KL.

My record shot.

S. lohita is correct. The intervening pale area between marginal & submarginal bands is also relatively wide.(Very narrow in seliga.)

The Malay Baron is the only baron in which the male have blue on the forewing.

The Hasora is eitherH. lizetta or H. zoma.
Should be H. lizetta since there is ochreous shading.

Female Zeltus amasa.

S. vivarna is correct.

Many thanks. You mean on the underside of forewing ?

Les & I thought it was Green Imperial, and we were stop for a few minutes each time when walk pass that place.
