The Common Eggfly on the tarmac's edge under a hot morning sun...
Opened wings reveals the insects sex: a male.
A female Archduke, Lexias dirtea merguia on a pile of leaf litter. I actually tried to bait the butterflies the day before with ripened bananas but the wild animals (I suspect wild pigs or monkeys) outwitted me and had their bounty on the fruits. However, a single banana skin was left behind and that was enough to draw out quite a few nice butterflies...
An excellent specimen of the male Archduke...
A tiny Chersonesia spp. butterfly on the sandbank...
A Three-bar Helen, Papilio helenus helenus.
A Common Three Ring butterfly on the leaves of a Lantana bush.
A Malayan Owl butterfly attracted by the rotting banana skin.
A strange looking cicada. Their cries are harbinger of the impending dry season in my childhood days. Not sure if these guys can still predict the weather...
The forest canopy through my lenses...
The dry spell brought out some colours to the canopy
