A few of us went to Fraser’s Hill in April. The weather at Fraser’s Hill was still cold and misty in the morning.
In the evening, the sunset was mesmerizing ..
We have a fantastic view of the sunset right from the living room. Below, Amy is taking photo of the sunset just before dinner was served.
We saw lots of butterflies and everyone had a great time taking photo of species which are not commonly seen at lower elevation.
Amy and Laurence shooting the Red Spot Jezebel (Delias descombesi eranthos). See Laurence’s photo of this beauty here.
We chanced upon another rare species, the Common Jester (Symbrenthia lilaea luciana) near our bungalow.
At one of our favorite haunts, we had a very cooperative Orange Albatross (Appias nero figulina) posing for photograph.
This trip I saw 4 lifers :
- Charaxes durnfordi dumfordi – This is a 5-STAR !
- Euthalia malaccana malaccana
- Symbrenthia lilaea luciana
- Scobura woolletti
I also saw the very rare Graphium empedovava !
Other species I saw include :
Yasoda pita dohertyi (Malayan Branded Yamfly)
Loxura cassiopeia cassiopeia (The Larger Yamfly)
Symbrenthia lilaea luciana (The Common Jester)
Kallima limborgii amplirufa (The Indian Leaf butterfly) 
Idea hypermnestra linteata ( The Tree Nymph )
Scobura woolletti (Brown Forest Bob)- A small skipper that resembles the Chestnut Bob 
Pareronia valeria lutescens (The Wanderer)
Papilio helenus helenus (The Red Helen) - a very common Papilio at this part of Malaysia.
Papilio nephelus sunatus (The Black and White Helen) – They are very common as well. I saw at least 8 of them in 2 hours.
