Having been on a holiday in Huatulco, I've added some photos of Mexican butterflies :
Papilionidae page.
Pieridae page.
Nymphalidae page.
Lycaenidae page.
Riodinidae page.
Hesperiidae page.

It was the height of the dry season, so there were nothing like as many butterflies on the wing as there would have been at some other times of the year, but I still did see quite a few interesting species. Please note: quite a lot of the identifications are rather tentative as I'm a total newbie when it come to this part of the world.

Added photos of :
 Sahulana scintillata (Glistening Line-blue), Erysichton lineatus (Hairy Line-Blue) and Prosotas felderi (Small-tailed Line Blue).

I made my first ever trip to Tasmania, a very quick visit in an attempt to find Nesoxenica leprea on the slopes of Mount Wellington. I saw a couple but they never settled so I couldn't get any photos. However, I was able to get shots of 3 new subspecies.

I made my second trip to WA, 8 years after my first visit. It had been a very bad winter (by WA standards), and there were hardly any butterflies around, even in locations such as Koondoola and Port Kennedy, where I had previously found plenty of interesting species. However I did have some success, due in a large part to fellow butterfly photographer Derek Longhurst, with whom I travelled through such exciting places as Wyalkatchem (the Cradle of Bulk Handling, no less). We were armed with lots of information provided by Geoff Walker, Matt Williams and Ross Field, without which we would have found almost nothing on our trips East and North of Perth.
Thanks for all your help Derek et al - it's much appreciated.

Having bought the 2nd edition of Michael Braby's "Field Guide to Butterflies of Australia", I decided it was time I updated the website to reflect the taxonomic changes that have occurred over the last few years. Several species have been renamed, one or two species have been relegated to subspecies level, and some new species have been described.

I've been changing the look and feel of the website over the last few weeks; there haven't been many changes to the content, I've just been giving the site a bit of a fresher look.

I spent a few more days in Cairns. Unfortunately the weather wasn't much good for the first few days, so I didn't see as many butterflies as I might have hoped for. I'd have seen a lot less than I did, if it wasn't for Bob Miller and Ian Hill, who showed me some good sites and who are both MUCH better at spotting butterflies than I am. Thanks guys!
