Sorry, I'll need to leave these for an expert or a local. Nymphalidae and Papilionidae are my strengths.
hahaha martini, you would have been most welcome, but you would have had to pay for a coolie! It was a fantastic trip. So much wild life! So much green! Such nice people! And lots and lots of butterflies!
You are having a great time there. I should have smuggled myself into your suitcase!
