I know how difficult it is to capture this guy, especially the underside shot.
Well done.

Good catch, Cher Hern. Butterfly Fairy must be smiling on you on Teacher's Day. :cheers:
Just do a check and the last time someone posted a locally shot LM is Sep 2008.

Yes, the last time when someone posted was in Sept 2008. I am rather happy that it still exists 2 years later.


Teachers' Day present for you :bsmile:
No lah, just normal reward from Butterfly fairy. Teachers' Day present would be an air ticket to Hong Kong...:bsmile:

Congratulations on this capture of this rarely encountered species. Like, Fed, I know how difficult it is to get underside shots of species in the Genus. I have 3 species of the Genus up here, and am still to get anything close to a passable underside shot.

Thanks Les, if I have a chance to go to Samui, hope to see all three then...:cheers:
