Butterfly Watching - June 2018

Great Egg-fly (female - Ssp Bolina)


Magpie Crow (Euploea radamanthus)

Compared with the above Great Egg-fly, Magpie Crows have light blue spots from the Apex to Tornus section of its wings.


Dark Yellow-banded flat 





Lemon Pansy

Quite common in northern Peninsular Malaysia


Common Posy


Colonel (Pandita sinope)

Its wing was probably been chip off by a bird.



Here is a skipper which is probably under reported. It is small and has dull colors. I believe the above skipper is a "Plain Tufted Lancer" (Isma iapis) instead of a "Small Branded Swift" as it does not show any green sheen at its wing base as reported on the latter.
