Thanks for the clarification, Seow. I have updated the labels accordingly.
Lethe delila. (thanks, Seow). I saw this butterfly once near the park headquarters. It remained in a bamboo thicket and landed on leaves about 3-4m above the ground.
Malayan Owl Butterfly (Neorina lowii). Observed near fallen fruit along the trail to the Rafflesias at the Rafflesia Centre.
Faunis gracilis. Several observed along the track to Langanan Falls, Poring Hot Springs.
Thaumantis noureddin chartra Les suggested this species due to the wing shape. He also indicated that this is the only race of the species in Borneo. I saw a few of these in the orchid garden of Poring Hot Springs and another at the Rafflesia Centre. All of them had this unusual reddish-brown colour.
Palm King (Amathusia phidippus). (thanks, Seow). It was attracted to the lights of the ticket office at Poring Hot Springs.
Clipper (Parthenos sylvia). Numerous in the butterfly garden of Poring Hot Springs.
Jester (Symbrenthia hippoclus) Several seen in the butterfly garden area of Poring Hot Springs.
