Butterflies in August 2023

My butterfly adventures continued in August but with just a few lifers. Here are some of them (both common and uncommon ones)

Ai Sey ! Initially I thought this could be an Orange Banded Flat but I think it ain't one. I guess it was just a Bright Red Velvet Bob.

A unique looking Malayan Chestnut Bob (Iambrix stellifer)

They looked alike but they are not.
