Glad everyone made it home safe and sound and happy after a good shooting outing. Except for Sunny, who's out there to get his Indian Leaf Butterfly with LC.

Fruitful trip guys and nice series I got lots of blur Forest Quaker and Red Spot Jezebel

Gentlemen:

Some truly great images you captured. I was a little surprised at how many of the butterflies you photographed were puddling. In Virginia you do find butterflies puddling, but usually not that many species all at once.

Nice captures from Anthony and Federick . Already the Jewel Nawab shot makes me drool...awaiting for more shots from the rest....thanks for the sharing...

[Painted Jezebel]

Beautiful shots, Ant, Fed.

Ant, the Nacaduba species is Nacaduba angusta kerriana. I like the Delias descombesi eranthos shots a lot. They are usually quite skittish, and I have only ever seen them flying high in the canopy. They both show a male, by the way. Females have black dusting on the underside hind wings.

May I please make a plea. If you use Common names, please, please add the scientific names afterwards, it will help viewers from outside Singapore to look up the species.

[Banded Yeoman]

Looks like another fruitful trip.

( Next time invite me lah )

Les, noted. I have already added the scientific names for the butterflies.
