Unkana spp ?

[Peacock Royal]

Shot this mating pair at UPR from far and the picture is abit blur and heavily cropped. Pity that we could not have more shots.
Checked C&P and I find it is close to Unkana mytheca mytheca (Plate 58, Picture 13). What do you all think ?

wow, looks like rare catch

[Commander]

Rare indeed. Only Federick and CP managed to shoot them before they split up and went separate ways.

[Commander]

This pair is more likely one of the Halpe spp. The forewing's markings correspond to those that are shown in C&P4. The only species found and confirmed so far is Halpe ormenes vilasina.

And the Imperial that we spotted up in the tree is confirmed a Grand Imperial after all... :cheers:

only possible with the resolution power of D2X!

[Commander]

Here're the shots, the first uncropped, using the 2x factor. And the 2nd shot is a highly cropped shot of the butt. Blurness is probably due to camera shake, handholding at that distance and low shutter speed of 1/200s. You guys can recall how far the bugger was from us.

Can still see the red parasite on the butts eye. ;P

:cheers: see, with BJ around, prob of spotting rare species gets higher... getting a shot is another story... :bsmile:

Seems to have a rather good match with HOV.
