Rice Paintbrush Swift
Baoris oceia
15.4563, 119.92
Field Notes
Habitat:
This Rice Paintbrush Swift was spotted, in the rice mill backyard vegetable plot, on Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), known in the Philippines as Pepino. Plant information from http://www.stuartxchange.org/Pipino.html........
Notes:
Hesperiidae; Hesperiinae; Baoris oceia Hewitson, 1868. This spotting is related to https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1570691856..... my spotting, immediately before this one. The Rice Paintbrush Swift shown here is very much lighter in colour (and the white spots can scarcely be seen) compared to the specimen in the related spotting. Normally, this would not be worth mentioning, but in this case, the butterfly in the related spotting flew away and, to my amazement, this lighter variant landed a few seconds later, on the same leaf.
