My weekly futile trip to the hills for Purlisa gigantea was today.
Delighted to find, for only the second time on Samui, the Common Punchinello (Zemeros flegyas allica). The observant among you may notice that it differs from the photos occasionally shown here from Malaysia and Borneo in that the two lower white subapical spots on the Malaysian subspecies (Z. f. albipunctatus) are missing. This ssp. (allica) is found in Malaysia, but only on Langkawi Island.
