New for KS but not KPN

[Painted Jezebel]

The last two mornings have been beautifully sunny, but clouded over arround 11.00am. Yesterday, I tried the forest at my waterfall site. Waste of time, not a single photo taken, or even tried!

Today, I went up a local hill where I have come across some rarities before. I was delighted to see the Tajuria dominus again, and also Rapala iarbus, which I had not seen all year. Unfortunately, everything was very skittish and stayed high up in the trees. Nevertheless, I managed a record shot of the Tamil Oakblue (Arhopala bazaloides bazaloides), which, until now, had only been seen on Koh Pha Ngan. (Not as good as Antonio's, but a record for Samui all the same).

Les,

You and Antonio are certainly finding some interesting species. I am sure that your island list and maybe that of Thailand will grow through your efforts.

[Painted Jezebel]

Thanks, David. The list is current standing at 335 species, including the, now, ten species found by Antonio on KPG, but not here on KS.

However, this figure will change a little, either up or down, as I still have a few dubious Hesperids to check, 3 Arhopala and one Riodinid that I am not sure about.

[Psyche]

You certainly have a unque species there. Congrats.
I won't be surprised if the nos. of species of both islands are identical and tops 400.

A sighting from yesterday, sadly widely out-of-focus, in the forest of the Than Sadet National park entrance in KPG


The Tamil Oakblue

You certainly have a unque species there. Congrats.

We are working on it!
