The above pic of the Common 5-ring was taken in AH on 25/04/04, time 16:40; the same day as the legendary pic of the Common Rose. It was posted in CS: http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=71946

Commander, was my Common Rose so beautiful that u did not take note of this? ;-)

Can't find the name in the list. If the id is confirmed, the species count will be 71 now!

If the pic is too small to id, I'll make it bigger. I got 4 diff pic of this guy in my folder.

Yes, indeed it is! Thanks for 'discovering' a new species for AH. :-) Easily identifiable from your shot as Ypthima baldus newboldi.

[Common Rose]

5 cheers for 5-ring! Hmmm, can't put 5 cheers; well :cheers: x 5

[Birdwing]

Great discovery and nice pic of the Common 5-ring, Common Rose. Congrats and well done. :cheers:

Thanks, thanks. :-)

[Common Rose]

Regarding the Common 5-ring, actually was lucky to be on this side of it; the wing on the other side was torn. You can feel it when u look at the lower portion of the hindwing; that corner is a bit lighter.

[Commander]

Which crow is this? Need ID-ing

From CS. Great observation, zenon! :cheers: That makes it #72 for AH now.

[Cruiser]

My colleague actually took pics of this Deudorix elioti (not currently on the AH list?) at AH a few months back, will ask her for link to her pics.

This one was taken at Ubin, beside N Park office.

This skipper was shot at AH yesterday.

It was similar to the 5th pic posted by Simon in Pics from Sime (http://www.butterflypals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231).

Quite difficult to id; doesn't look like any of the skipper on the list. :hmmm: Probably my 70th species, but w/o an id.

[Elbowed Pierrot]

You got a shot of the upperside? :thinking:

[Commander]

All these are shots of the Common Dartlet (Oriens gola pseudolus). Have taken a closer look at this particular one... ;P

[Elbowed Pierrot]

hahaaa.. I thought the common dartlet does have a distinctive marking on the forewings than other skippers doesn't have?

[Commander]

hahaaa.. I thought the common dartlet does have a distinctive marking on the forewings than other skippers doesn't have?

Actually, it has fewer markings than the Potanthus spp. The cell-end black bar seems to be one consistent feature, but I can't be sure, as I don't have underside shots of the other Oriens spp, which may also have this feature.

[Sky Blue]

lazy to chk C&P4, can someone help to confirm the name of Copper Flash
Rapala pheretima sequiera or sequeira

[Commander]

ei...

I spelt wrongly... corrected :embrass:

[Common Rose]

Anyone saw Common Four-ring @ AH before?

[Commander]

No leh... you saw one?

[Common Rose]

nope... i was reading this list (http://www.butterflypals.com/BIG/reports/2007/20060520-p-sicc.htm) just now, and this species was mentioned.

Thanks. As far as our checklist here is concerned, no photo/no specimen, no talk. ;P

[Yano]

I just noticed that Arhopala athada was not included in the list of AH butterflies.
Here is the photo I've taken on April 22, 2012.

I would also like to post my Polyura hebe photo at AH.
Guess how it was taken.

[Great Mormon]

You were standing on the parapet or bench, holding on to the beams while stretching out with the other hand to shoot the Nawab?

[Yano]

Pretty close.
I moved the garbage bin and stood on it.
Yes, I stretched out with a campact camera in hand.
Not recommended at all.
