Re Post 60:
1) I'll stick my neck out on this, possibly Junonia erigone. I know that VW&dJ state not found in N. Sulawesi, but I am positive one of us, not me, has an upperside shot of this species.
2) Tagiades trebellius trebellius
3) Leptotes plinius plutarchus
4) Rhinopalpa polynice megalonice
5) Doleschallia polibete celebensis. A much nicer underside than mine!
6) Aaron, I don't think it is the only Pantoporia sp. on Sulawesi. The upperside forewing looks different to that pictured on Plate 12, No.6.
7) Plastingia tessellata tessellata

1. Junonia hedonia intermedia (Vane-Wright & R. de Jong, 2003). As J. intermedia intermedia by B. D'Abrera (1985).
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. As id.
6. Again, it is not possible to differentiate genera Pantoporia and Lasippa by venation (C&P 4 page 171) from the photo. Wing pattern from upperside forewing indicated it is Lasippa neriphus tawayana (Vane-Wright & R. de Jong, 2003; Butterflies of the Oriental Region Part II, page 304, 1985).

My final odds and sods from Bogani Nani NP, before moving on to Kali Waterfall, nr. Manado.

1&2) There are too many Hypolimnas sp. on Sulawesi for me to be 100% posivie of this ones ID.
3) Normally, I would immediately say Zizina otis, but I think that there may be others with similar markings, eg. Bothrina, Pseudobothrina sp.
4) Mycalesis sp. My brain shuts down when it comes to this genus!
5) I originally thought this was Eurema nicevillei. However, on return home, I discovered that that species is not on Sulawesi.

I will start a separate thread for the Hesperiidae, as that could become quite messy!

1. & 2. Hypolimnas bolina bolina.
3. Zizina otis. (Note: I don't think the small marking is a spot in the cell on underside forewing.).
3. Sorry, unable to id.
4. Any upperside shot to clarify it is Eurema hecabe latimargo.

As regards to no.1, yes. I am happy to be proved wrong. However, I would like for one the of us who happened to get the upperside show it. As I said, my neck is out in the open!

For No.6, I also thought about the Lasippa sp.

Everybody makes mistake including me. For me, right or wrong is not the issue but learn something is more important. I join BDF is not to prove who is right or wrong but gain experience, knowledge and enjoy.

I think there may be a cultural difference between the way westerners, like me, and orientals, like the majority of members here, tend to treat getting things wrong. Certainly it is the case in Thailand, where being wrong is a matter of losing face. To me, being wrong teaches me me an awful lot more than getting things right, accidentally. I like being shown to be wrong!

Anyway, enough of that, Antonio has already started on the butts of Tangkoko nature reserrve, and I am still at Kali Waterfall, the day before!

My Kali pics not shown before:
1) Lexias aeetes aeetes. I think this was the only specimen seen.
2&3) Chersonesia rahria celebensis. As above.
4&5) Looks like an Eggfly, but it was enormous. I seem to recall that there is a Papilionid that mimic the eggfly, but I may be mistaken, my brain is misbehaving badly at the moment! Very skittish, and I hope someone has a much better upperside than mine, which was taken as a great distance. - Correction - Hypolimnas diomea diomea
6) An Ypthima sp. - Ypthima nynias nynias
7) Another Ypthima. - Ypthima loryma
8) A Tiger, can't get the species for certain. - Danaus ismare alba
9) Lycaenid. Help! - Zizula hylax hylax
10) Distinctive underside, the white forewing bar appears different to those shown in VW&dJ. - Lamasia lyncides lyncides

3)I must admit I did not expect an ID, owing to the poor quality of the photo! But unless one asks......!
4) The species was very common, and had the forewing black border extending along the dorsum, like E. nicevillei. Unfortunatley, no upperside shot!

It is a highlight of the trip to sight the below 2 Graphium.
Hopefully I get the ID right for both.

Graphium rhesus is of similar size to the Five Bar Swordtail and it only stops intermittently, it simply does not pay attention to our Formula B. Graphium androcles is huge and it will definitely make its presence felt when in flight. it also does not give a hoot to the Formula B.

Hopefully we will be able to get a picture of Graphium dorcus butungensis and also have better shots of the below 2 when we visit Sulawesi again. (Most Probably South Sulawesi)

Beautiful, Nelson. I never managed shots of either!
