The Punchinello, Zemeros flegyas albipunctatus (Butler)

This tiny butterfly is common along the trails as well as well wooded roadsides in Fraser's Hills, often seen settling on a sun-speckled leaf in the afternoon. It has a characteristic half-opened wing position when resting. They are also seen from time to time on forested paths at mid-elevation and the forest's edge, preferring the sun-lit under storeys.
