Common Tit butterfly

I too am 3 years old in PN, and bayucca/Dominik has been a great influence to me. I humbly say that I learned from him and followed his example of having the patience and perseverance to get to the right ID, combing through available scientific journals and other reliable online materials. :) Whatever I learned in PN, I carried to PhiLep :) Thank you Dominik!

This was obviously my first Asian wild butterfly I IDed 3 years ago! Rhanks Agnes for adding the correct subspecies. Even after some years on Project Noah Philippinian geography is still a mystery for me and I would not dare to get down to subspecies level.

Hi Ann! Pls change the ID to Hypolycaena erylus tmolus. This is the ssp occurring in Luzon. Regards! :)

Thank you Ann! :)

Hi Ann. Pls add this gorgeous spotting to the Butterflies in the Philippines mission (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15553007). This would be a great addition to the mission. Thanks and regards!!

You're welcome.

Cool!! Oh and I see now how these +1 and +2 works... Until now I have just added the same ID a second one, so that's the right way. Thanks!

yes bayucca confirmation(vote) added.

@Gina: Would that mean you confirm my guess?? If, yes, wow!! That's the first wild Asian butterfly I have IDed. Cool!

Hypolycaena erylus teatus Female. Common Tit

My guess might give some IDea, but I am not sure, just a little playing around and listen to Philippine Blues ;-)... https://mothbutt.wordpress.com/category/papilionoidea/ http://www.rainbowlodgecambodia.com/butterfly89.php

Hi Ann! These little hairstreaks are numerous and can be hard to ID to the species... Here's a great list of Philippines butterfly. The guide is not entirely pictorial but I hope it can help (for this and other spottings!): http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/philippine-butterflies.php

Sorry, but I can't help you, since yours are out of my range. It is for sure a Lycaenidae/Hairstreak. I am sure there are some experts around for this beauty!
