This is the continuation of the previous Part 1 post. I guess if you make more trips, you will see more species of butterflies, hence these two-part series of the July 2025 butterfly postings.
Blue Gem
Poritia erycinoides phraatica
When is the last time you get to see an open wing of a gem like this?

Blue Line Brilliant
Simiskina pharyge deolina
Another beauty.

Initially it was quite skittish but once it has settle down, you can get some decent shots.
Here is another lifer for me in July 2025
Pale Green Awl
Burara gomata lalita
It came to puddle with other butterflies, namely Nawab, Tawny Rajah and a Constable.
Pale Green Awl
Burara gomata lalita
It has an unique wing pattern among the Awls.
Koh-i-noor
Amathusia amythaon dilucida
This Amathusia seldom ventures out from the dark jungle trails but this time it must be hungry to puddle out in the open. This one is a male.
Narrow-banded Sunbeam
Curetis insularis pseudoinsularis (Fruhstorfer)
Not too hard to ID this Sunbeam.

Curetis insularis pseudoinsularis (Fruhtopfer)
Here's a comparison of two common Prosotas.
Common Line Blue
Prosotas nora superdates
Dark-based Line Blue
Prosotas gracilis ni
Dark-based Line Blue
Prosotas gracilis ni
So I guess the major differences are the presence of a tail on P. nora superdates and the darker basel of a P. gracilis ni.
Lifer # 2
Koruthaialos frena
No common name as yet at this point.
This skipper was seen in Bukit Tinggi.
Intricate Jester
Symbrenthia hypatia chersonesia
I prefer their underside pattern.
Malayan Jester
Symbrenthia hippoclus selangorana
Coincidentally the above Jester was seen in Hulu Langat, Selangor.

Sometimes we need to see their upperside as well to ensure that their ID is correct.
White Four-line Blue
Nacaduba angusta kerriana
The above was taken in Selangor.
