LC, for Bassarona dunya dunya, how to tell the male / female?

OT a bit, why not we post up our name here to see who might be interested.

Wah, so many butt !!! Thanks for sharing, really enjoy looking at them (many of them for the 1st time).

CM, CM, where are you?

Thanks SC. Guess he is on his way back to SG.

LC, for Bassarona dunya dunya, how to tell the male / female?

Ahem... according to book. Female is larger and darker in colors. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Er, which book? Can't see it in C&P4, and whilst the illustrations in Pisuth's book seem to illustrate it, those on Inayoshi's website do not. Unfortunately, Pinratana only shows a male. From my experience, the only way to be sure is to examine the abdomen.

My apology if I had confused you guys. I was refering to Pisuth's book as the female is darker and larger. That is what I saw and shot.

I will change it. Thanks.

Don't need to apology, we all here to learn

LC, with species where sexual dimorphism is practically non-existant, I find the safest thing to do is not to state male or female. Only if I know the sex, either through close up observation of the abdomen, or having seen certain behaviour, like egg laying, will I do so. In the case of B. dunya, I would very much like to see the latter, as the early stages of this species are currently unrecorded, I believe.

Ur helenus has rather few red lunules. At first i thought it was an iswaroides. Which part of malaysia is this?

[Common Mime]

Your photo of the Thauria aliris is simply magnificent, the best I've seen of this very difficult butt to photo.

I think LC is going to prove you wrong at this.
