Hi guys!
Preamble.
Even though I graduated from the university's biofactory department, it was fate that ordered it, or I did not become a biologist. Although I dreamed of biology all my childhood, youth, and even now I am sick of it in a broad sense, and in a narrower sense entomology. It just so happens that I've always wanted to see the rainforests in their infernal splendor.
A month ago, I flew to Thailand for a vacation, after spending 3 days in Pattaya, decided that I was bored here and bought a ticket at the ticket office of the Northern Bus Station for 263 rubles and went to the border of Cambodia. Anyway, for a modest amount of money, 10 hours later I found myself in Siem Reap, one of the main tourist centers of Cambodia. Of course, the target was the many temples of Angkor. I don't write about them, although they impressed me.
Now the actual point.
Having at home the entire range of photo optics for macro, for an unknown reason, I did not take a single macro lens, last winter's trip to Thailand was not impressive. How I was punished this time. The temples are located almost in the jungle, and when I examined them, I constantly came across some butterflies and dragonflies flying or sitting. I'm not talking about the fact that someone is constantly yelling and crowing in the forest. The atmosphere, although not quite the same as the BBC films about the tropics draw, is very similar. At night there is probably generally super interesting. Compared to Thailand, it is very interesting. I've seen something similar to Troides a couple of times, but I'm not 100% sure.
Question to lepidopterologists, what interesting things can you look for there for photos? I guess I'm talking about big butterflies. Types of 5-10 do not tell me? I decided to go again with all the equipment. Just ask those who like to fight to refrain from using their favorite skill. And then in the forum about the tropics there is almost nothing about the tropics.

The reason for your aggression is not clear, and I believe that you need to know the correct names of countries at least in your native language.

The norms of the Russian language have nothing to do with it.Were you there in person? What is written on the entry to the country? Please make a transliteration if you can. Of course from English, I didn't learn Khmer))) On many resources, both names-Cambodia and Cambodia-are commonly used . The local population itself uses the name of their country as "Cambodia". In official correspondence, we use the All-Russian Classifier of Countries of the World (OKSM), resolution No. 641 of the State Standard of the Russian Federation of December 27, 1995. Accordingly, if I go to Turkmenistan, please correct me if I write Ashgabat instead of Ashgabat. Or I'll write Tuva instead of Tyva. Moldova - Moldova, are the parallels clear? So this is not a violation of the rules of the Russian language, but rather a departure from the official classification. But your musolenye this is a malicious off top and flood. Do you have any information on the actual issue itself?
