N. Thailand Part 1 - Thung Salaeng Luang NP, Phitsanulok

I knew you had better photos than me!

I THINK that the unidentified Lycaenid is Celastrina lavendularis limbata (Plain Hedge Blue), but I will be happy to be shown to be wrong.

You could be right too.

I do have one species I am pretty sure is an Udara sp. I think (yet again) that this is Udara dilecta dilecta (Pale Hedge Blue). Sorry Seow, I gave the wrong English name first, but now changed.

[Psyche]

Agreed it is Udara dilecta.

I was going to state it also looks identical to U. rona catius until I realised it is not recorded in Thailand.

Antonio, I like that Glorious Begum shot - hope I have too see and shoot one in Nov.
Les, the female Cruiser shot was nicely composed and shot.

[Angiud]

I hope too Federick! But who carry the smelly bait?


The Burmese Batwing - Atrophaneura varuna zaleucus


The White-bar Bushbrown - Mycalesis anaxias aemate


The Small Banded Flat - Celaenorrhinus nigricans nigricans


The Scarce Catseye - Coelites nothis nothis


The Common Duffer - Discophora sondaica zal ??

[Painted Jezebel]

Some more, most, I think, Antonio did not get.

1) To add to Antonio's last post, an upperside shot of Atrophaneura varuna zaleucus.

Some Lycaenids:
2) Poritia hewitsoni tavoyanus (female) - Common Gem
3) Poritia sp. I am not sure if this is the same sp. or possibly Poritia erycinoides trishna (Blue Gem). The hind wing submarginal marking are much less produced than in No. 2.
4) A Prosotas species. I see a very small tail, I think. Is this P. pia marginata?
5) A large Miletus species.

Beautiful shots, Les and Antonio.
Despite the less than ideal weather, you guys manage to nail quite a lot of specifies and chalk up some ++
The Ancema ctesia ctesia (Bi-spot Royal) is beautiful.
