Day 3 of visit.

Todays +1s:

3) Caltoris cormasa
4) Ypthima pandocus corticaria (Looped Threering)

Finally, (1,2&3) three colour versions of Arhopala ammon ammon (Malayan Bushblue) - Turquoise, purple and brown. I didn't play around with the colours, they came out that way, honest!

Also saw the magnificent and graceful Idea stolli logani.

Les,

As mentioned in Mark's thread , the wing scales of this species give variable colours under different lighting conditions , at times even in between shots, it varies with the ambient light and flash angle of incidence on the wing surface.

Mark also had the same problem (http://b-pals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7245) , believe he was there with you.


Cheers!

here is one so colorful that I need to wear sunglasses to view it:bsmile:
