Whilst I was temporarily living away, I was staying in a holiday bungalow complex, a few kilometers inland, new some woodland which I thought would be productive. I was disappointed.

The only thing of interest is this Arhopala species. Using the keys I come to my perennial problem of A. atosia or A. lurida.

However, if you look at the underside forewing in the partially open photo, it appears that the post-discal spots in 2 & 3 line up too close to the end-cell bar.

I ran it thru the key and it comes out A. lurida.
The more contrasted underside and the upperside brown border which increased slightly at the apex also matched.
The underside forewing looks ok to me, just a bit of distorted perspective.
