Common Posies (mating)
Drupadia theda
4.39789, 117.895
Field Notes
Description:
A pair of small Drupadia butterflies mating quietly on a leaf. Sexual dimorphism is present as you can the that difference in the shades of brown between the male and the female (though I am not sure which is the male or the female). The wings may look dull but there is a striking metallic blue on the inner sides on the wings which makes them look sparkling when flying low on the forest floor.
Habitat:
Found it in the foliage beside the Canopy Bridge trails in Tawau Hills Park, Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia. This species lives in this tropical rain forest area.
Notes:
>>>Map accuracy : 3km radius. Spotted this with Dan on the way back from the canopy walk. Dan's spotting of it - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/236506006
