Glorious hot sunny day yesterday, yet, strangely, very little about!
Nevertheless, managed the shots attached, which I need help on ID'ing.
1) Small skipper, I suspect an Isma species. Dr Kalesh, can you help?
2&3) Medium sized skipper. I strongly suspect here Zela zeus optima (Orange-Ciliate Palmer) owing to the forewing spots, but would like confirmation. (Shots without and with flash)
4) Arhopala lurida (Lesser Disc Oakblue)
5) My best shot yet of Arhopala democritus democritus (White-dot Oakblue). I can relax now with this species as it is my keeper (at long last!)
continue for my Arhopala problem!.....
