Can anyone confirm that this is a Bush Hopper?
Thx.

Hi sharkspin. This skipper is Taractrocera archias quinta (no common name; usually we called it Taq). Locally, it was first id in 2004, and was added to the Singapore Butterfly Checklist in 2005 after the confirmation of the id.

LIke the water droplets!

Now that I have some time to look at the photo again, I realise that the skipper is actually feeding on the water droplets.....or am I getting too long sighted....
Thx for viewing.
