3. Lethe mekara gopaka. There were many of this fella and Bamboo Tree Brown as there were lots of bamboo along the steps. However, there were too many people moving up and down so didn't manage to shoot the Bamboo Tree Brown.

[Green Baron]

Wah! So nice! BUt why here? #8 my pick! :thumbsup:Why here and not the photography subforum ? Because I think this post is more about the butterfly species in Selangor state and not about how they are taken or the technique.

[Elbowed Pierrot]

wow, i like the row of choc albatross...

[Sky Blue]

wah, can find quite a number of species there, must ask my sis to bring there next time ;-)

[Green Baron]

wah, can find quite a number of species there, must ask my sis to bring there next time ;-)That place is great :thumbsup: There are 3 waterfalls along that stretch of road but not easy to find. I couldn't find the waterfalls when I went there early this year.. This time I drove for about 50km before I find one of the waterfalls. I will definietly go back there the next time I go back to Selangor.

[Cruiser]

You must have great time over there, but all shots appear to be soft or oof, IMHO :thinking:
