Butterflies in August 2021 (2nd half)

Rain continued through out in August hence limiting the chances of seeing more butterflies. Here are just a handful of them seen in late August.

This is a new addition to the location. The best time see them is after an overnight rain.

Straight Line Map (Cyrestis nivea nivalis)



Blue Glassy Tiger (Ideopsis vulgaris macrina) 



There were lots of them lately - due to a flowering plant. 
The above is a 'Dark Glassy Tiger' (Parantica agleoides agleoides)




Probably the best find in the month of August 

Its a toast between Pyroneura flavia fruhstorferi (Lesser Lancer) and P. natuna (Yellow-based Lancer)



Common Yeoman (Cirrochroa Tyche rotundata)




Plain Banded Awl (Hasora vitta vitta)



Stripped Blue Crow (Euploea mulciber mulciber)

In my area, they are not as common as the "Spotted Black Crow"



Spotted Black Crow (Euploea crameri bremeri)



Striped Black Crow (Euploea eyndhovii gardineri)

The above 'crow' is also seldom seen here.



Another headache - is this a Tanaecia iapis puseda or T. godartii ?



Pointed Palmfly (Elymnias penanga penanga)

It was first seen in early July.



Common Tit (Hypolyvaena erylus teatus)


Miah Neptis Batara (Small Yellow Sailor)

This species has become quite common at my location


Miah Neptis Batara (Small Yellow Sailor)

This is a male



Archduke (Lexias pardalis dirteana)

The above is a female


UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER - ADIOUS !
