You really must talk a walk up to Hin Lad Waterfall, I'll show you about a hundred of these in 1/2 hour! You need to walk in deeper forest on KP I think!

I reckon it is the commonest forest butterfly on Samui, together with Cyrestis themire.

But congratulations on the Stiboges upperside. Most unusual, as we only normally get to see the underside, and you got the Drina again.

One more short trip, with Les and after Langkawi. The park is not so crowded yet, but we manage in one and half day to get something interesting:

Not a common encounter

2 Pallid Faun mating - Melanocyma faunula faunula

A first for me

The Common Gem - Poritia hewitsoni regia

After along hunting, a close-up shot of the rare Drina maneia

The Blue Yam - Drina maneia

A couple of nice Lantern Bugs:

The Dark-horned Lanternfly - Pyrops spinolae

Lanternbug - Pyrops karenia and not, as before ID,Pyrops candelaria

A moth

Callidula sp.

And a beautiful Peacock

The Green Peafowl

Great shots for sure! Must have been so much fun... plus, you just whistle and they fly and land on your hand... or wherever you want them for a great photo.

Excellent shots of some rarities, Antonio!

Thank you Khew!

With a shot of the Hypolycaena merguia skapane Les got and with 3 sightings (without any pic) of the elusive Lycaenopsis haraldus renonga (the Felder's Hedge Blue) the trip would be a real success
