Les,
Just received my copy of "Butterflies of Borneo" from UK, and the plate for Sky Blue shows the male to have the same dark greyish brown coloration for the undersides. :grin2:

We'll go with the Sky Blue ID then. The last specimen that I got was from the SF area deep in the forests. So they're around somewhere, just not as common as in Bunker Trail.

Great! :gbounce:

Thanks, Khew and of course Les (for suggesting lunch could wait and go on to explore that part of the trail), for another +1 for me.
