Thanks MartinL! I actually know Les Day creator of samuibutterflies.com from when I lived on the island. He identified quite a few of my early sightings when I was doing a lot of walking there. Good to get the grey matter working : ) ........ I knew I could rely on you ha ha! I do try with the idents but a few of them look so similar I like to leave it to people who know their stuff.

Yay! That was a tough one. This Satyridae (Browns) is a mimic of a bad tasting Danaid. The glimpse of open wing is always helpful:)
