I would appreciate some pointers on the identification of this Curetis species photographed in mangrove habitat at Phang-nga, southern Thailand. I assume that not too many Curetis species would be in this habitat. It was hanging on the underside of the leaf, but I have inverted the photo for easier viewing. Many thanks.
