Here are some butterflies in the first quarter of September 2021 (1 - 10 September). Not many were seen during this time as the rain continues to pour on alternate days.
Hidden in between the jungle litter was this Blue-banded Jungle Glory (Thaumantis klugius lucipor)
Not too far from the above uncommon butterfly, came along this Dark Jungle Glory (Thaumanthis noureddin noureddin). Both the above butterflies are denizen of the thick forest. Due to their cryptic behavior - staying away from the main trails, they are seldom seen.
This butterfly is only common in the forested regions
Yellow-barred Pan (Xanthotaenia busiris busiris)
Malayan Viscount (Tanaecia aruna aruna)/(T. pelea pelea)
Same common name but different Ssp. (I think)
Malayan Yamfly (Loxura cassiopeia cassiopeia)
Some literature have also named it as the Great Yamfly. This butterfly is less common than Loxura atymnus fuconius.
Purple Bush-Brown (Mycalesis orseis)
As we know, butterfly's wings are covered with tiny microscopic scales which when in contact with sunlight will produce different hue of colors

Another Royal Assyrian
Commander (Moduza procris milonia)
A rather off-colored Common Imperial (Cheritra freja frigga)
This could be due to either aging or too much of sunlight (intensity of the light)
HAPPY BUTTERFLY DAY !!
