Calycopis cf. isobeon
A small Lycaenidae butterfly. Very hard to see the colours when it was flying around. It appeared to be mostly brown. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw it on the computer. I found it quite early in the morning and was having trouble with the lens fogging up in the extremely high humidity. Just managed these 2 shots before I couldn't use it at all, as it completely fogged over. 2nd photo is already foggy.

I think this must be a Groundstreak, Calycopis sp. http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/galle...

Hmm... wonder if I've got the right ID? Maybe the Red-banded Groundstreak
Calycopis cecrops.

Saw another one very similar to this on the Caribbean side. The spots are the same but it doesn't have the red line alongside the white and black. I'll post it soon.
Hahaha, Dr Namgya, I don't know... How did you !! They run through the feed so quickly these days, it's easy to miss. Anyway, I'm glad you found it. Such an amazing design, no?
How did I miss this beauty!
thanks RiekoS
