Butterflies in Oct 2019

Here are a few butterflies's photos taken recently in a nearby forest in Selangor.

Malayan Count (T.godartii)


Great Orange Awlet (B.etelka)

The above awl is a type of skipper and its size is much bigger as compared to other skippers.



Malayan Chestnut Bob (L stellifer)
Quite a tiny lil skipper.



Malayan Birdwing (T.amphrysus)

Have seen the above birdwing a few times but only manage to get its photo this time albeit from a distance.

Common Batwing (Atrophaneura varuna varuna)

I came across this "Batwing" aka the "Common Batwing" recently in a Northern State of Peninsular Malaysia. According to a local expert (i.e Nlliew), this is an uncommon and seasonal butterfly which abundance may fluctuate according to certain years and in certain locality.


This one here was not puddling on the ground but was more comfortable resting on some leaves deep inside the forest.
