Wah... you've been doing your homework on this... Better go update my website! :embrass:

43 species so far? Not bad... Keep at it. At the rate you're going, should easily hit 100 species by the end of the year! :think:

 

[macross]

I think there are 3 species not on the 'butts' bible' yet.

Feel free to ask if u need any help.

 

[FujiS2]

well done macross, I should wake up & give a good chase

well done macross, I should wake up & give a good chase

Errmm..., actually I concentrated more on getting new species than on good composition/aesthetic (like today) :embrass: , which is why I get more. Your pics are definitely far more superior :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: than mine.

Great that you have started to record your sightings :thumbsup: Keep it up.
So far the Butterfly Group has recorded 69 species at AH ! I will try to publish the official list asap so that you know when you find a new unrecorded species Note that you should exclude those that you are not 100% sure of the ID from the record and all new records must be supported by photo evidence.

 

[FujiS2]

huh! 69 species at AH? that means I no need to go else where & can just focus at AH

 

[macross]

Green Baron: Thanks for your professional suggestion, I will keep that in mind. The species that I have listed come from all over the places, though most of them are definitely in AH. Looking forward to the AH list. I think AH is going to get crowded.

FujiS2: We should call for 'concentrate fire' on this strategic point.

Btw, since my shot of the Common Rose was so popular, I have decided to use it as my avatar.

I will be building a new gallery for my butts collection. Any suggestion how the organisation should be?

I was thinking of dividing into albums according to family-subfamily, with Nymphalidae-Nymphalinae and Lycaenidae-Lycaeninae into a few albums if they get too big.

 

[FujiS2]

ha, that is what I wanted to do as well
I'm still in the middle of buiding my site, yup my new butts site was organized according to the super-family -> family -> subfamily ->
photos mainly on butts + cats, hostplant, pupa, egg & others related info abt the species. If more species found under a subfamily then I'll break it to multiple page.

Think you site will be up first than mine coz mine still need to do lots of programming :cry: I'm building a database driven website so it'll be easy to organize/maintain in the future

Macross: This might interest you. Today I saw a Euploea phaenareta castelnaui (King Crow) at AH. Info on it from Papilio's website here.

Family : Nymphalidae
Sub-Family : Danainae

It's about the same size as the Common Birdwing. Truely spectacular. Hope you manage to get a shot of it soon.

Wah lau eh... looks like I better exercise my creaky legs more, otherwise I'm gonna be left far behind ;p But its good to know that there are so many species in AH, my creaky legs wont have to walk so much hehe. ;p

 

[macross]
