Gua Tempurung, Perak (1st August)

[whiteroyal]

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was an honour travelling and shooting alongside amazing companions. Thanks again for keeping a lookout for me throughout the trip, and teaching me stuffs along the way~ I'll start by sharing a few humble shots from Gua Tempurong, Perak :)

Can someone help me with the ID of the butterfly above and below The Straight Pierrot? :D Thanks!

[Psyche]

It is Castalius rosimon rosimon (slight spot variation is normal) & Cepora nadina andersoni.

Nice series and interesting perspective of the (1st) dragontail.

I also like the first Dragontail shot - something different and unusual.

This skittish Crow was lurking around the hut on our first day at Gua Tempurung. From the markings, it looks like a Blue Spotted Crow (Euploea midamus chloe).

Seow, your views?

It is normally very difficult to guess the ID just from the underside, but what luck to have the FW raised & the upperside exposed.
3 species have the HW submarginal spots more rounded.

E. sylvester is flashy blue on the upperside. In any case there are more FW marginal white spots.

E. midamus have the FW white spot in space 1b elongate.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/dan/30350010.html

It is E. modesta, with the spot in space 1b short.
