Female Common Palmfly & Tawny Palmfly

[Common Mime]

Where u spotted the specimen? Macritchie reservoir?
Do u recall any "spots"? If no spots, likely to be Common Palmfly.

Below my office, the bush area. Besides, I saw a Common Mormon, Common Palmfly (w/o spot), and a skipper, those red eye type, looks like a banana skipper as the wings are quite plain but w/o the whilte tip. Not a coconut skipper as well since there are not other spots or marking, it was plain and the eyes are not red . Of course, this one lor. Nevermind, I have her young one with me .

I think the white patches on the underside of a female Common Palmfly is more obvious than a make which has a rather dark reddish brown underside. This is based on my observation for the past one week below my office.

The quantity of male seems like more than the female?

I find them like to walk on the leaves by dragging their abdomen touching the leaf. Any special reason?
