At altitudes from 1240 to 1460, I caught only Tanaorhinus rafflesii

Dimitri! What do you think? Tochnyak? No?

And do not move, whether all photos without underside rafflesii / viridiluteata in inaccurate?
On the upper side, I do not see a difference, but they are very visible on the underside, which is not here. This is a personal opinion and fully admit that it is possible to distinguish at the top, but, I repeat: the differences on top do not see.

Come on, out of all the gloom, who are well aware of the tropics!)

Svetlana, to determine the kind of there, where this "quote" (picture # 34868) is a Habitat preference could play only a supporting role in all, everything is determined underside. In addition to mothsofborneo, from this observation is taken, it does not say that there rafflesii only in the plains, and viridiluteata only in the mountains. It says - especially, basically, more ..But perhaps, though less frequently, there are findings rafflesii and mountains. Can I put these 2 species in precisely defined without underside - I do not know the solution for those who know the tropics and the moderators.

But Basil, high as a man could be removed and no outstretched hands. Yes, and a copy of hapnul to his collection, and the underside would have been available. But he persists in not wanting to go to exotics! Basil! You go to the rainforest as it is possible!

Ha, who would have me up there on the wall in the night, it was given to the bottom-yourself show ??? Yes, not always at eye level, it is sometimes necessary to get up on his toes and do the photo on his outstretched hands blindly, with the benefit of my camera rotating screen ... 1 draft frame - on Live View, then working shots ... and pray that the hand He did not flinch or the object is not moved ...

:) On the underside to the top of these two species are virtually indistinguishable, as I understand.

Quote from Irina Nikulina: "... referring to mothsofborneo, ... note that rafflesii prefers mostly lowland and viridiluteata - alpine forest." Sorry, my butterflies, and this neighbor, lifted high in the mountains, they, too, can these viridi ..... ???
