Another shot of the Creteus cyrina cyrina:
Celaenorrhinus dhanada lativittus (thanks, Les and Seow). This flat looked odd with the large translucent patch in the upper wings. I don't see anything like it in the Malaysia guide. This butterfly was photographed in the botanic gardens at the park headquarters of Kinabalu.
Notocrypta pria. (thanks, Seow) This one was photographed at the butterfly garden of Poring Hot Springs.
Koruthaialos frena (thanks, Seow). Photographed at the butterfly gardens of Poring Hot Springs.
Orchid at the Kinabalu Park headquarters:
One of the highlights of the trip for me was seeing my first flowering Rafflesia. These were seen at the Rafflesia Centre. To see the flowers, my friends and I hired a guide and walked about 45 minutes down a steep hillside. There was only this single flower that was open but several buds were developing nearby.
