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.

Rare skippers and other common butterflies in May 2025

Looks like it's a Hesperiidae  season. Saw lots of them and their presence is probably related to the presence of many flowers and  Leea...
