Hi All

These are the list of butterflies seen at the walk :

1. Great Mormon -male (Papilio memnon)
2. Common Grass Yellow (Eurema hecabe)
3. Chocolate Grass Yellow (Eurema sari)
4. Chocolate Pansy (Junonia hedonia)
5. Chocolate Demon (skipper)
6. Lemon Emigrant (Catopsilia pomona)
7. Zizula hylax pygmea
8. Common Palmfly (Elymnias hypermnestra)
