So far, Cathy and I have photographed and identified 13 12 different species of butterflies around the beautiful island. Our identification book lists 133 species so we obviously have a long way to go!
NOTE: We have identified a few more than 13 12, but the quality of the pictures were not quite good enough to be on this blog’s dedicated butterflies page, which will be added on in the future!
So far we have:
- Byasa polyeuctes termessus
- Chilades pandava peripatria
- Hypolimnas bolina kezia
- Kaniska canace drilon
- Athyma selenophora laela
- Kallima inachis formosana
- Symbrenthia hypselis scatinia
- Idea leuconoe clara
- Ypthima multistriata
- Neptis sappho formosana
- Milionia basalis pryeri [that's a moth n00b]
- Telicota ohara formosana
- Heliophorus ila matsumurae
