The PJs always come down to feed on the ixora flowers(woodball course) further away from the traffic junction.

Here is a belated reply, Brian.

Your Potanthus is a tricky one.
Of the 3 subapical (just below the apex or tip) spots the one near the margin is rather short.
However, the veins are more or less darkened and I would leave it as the Lesser Dart.(P. omaha)
Do you have an underside shot of this ?

Post 34 is the Chocolate Demon.
