Vivek, that’s a great sighting. Here’s an interesting article about this species:
Collecting and eating Liphyra brassolis (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in southern Thailand By Rod Eastwood, Pitoon Kongnoo and Manus Reinkaw Published at: http://lepidopteraresearchfoundation.org/ In Vol. 43 (Dec. 2010). It seems like it is not so difficult to find the species once you know where and how to look for it. I am sure you will have more sightings in the near future. With best wishes, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Post-doctoral Research Fellow FAS Center for Systems Biology Harvard University 52 Oxford St., Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
