The Common Yeoman, Cirrochoa tyche rotunda (Butler)

Despite its name, this species of Cirrochoa seemed less common than its cousin the Malay Yeoman, C. malaya. They frequent the same localities and around the same active months of the year. From a distance, thay appear lika a larger version of the Small Leopard or a less marked Malay Yeoman.

The current cold spell brought gloomy weather and suddenly, this skipper becomes very abundant in all its usual localities. Above 2 photos 26 Jan 2014 @ 12:26.

23 Feb 2014 @ 10:54. Despite the return of hot and dry spell, it is still common though less so than in January - maybe Dec-Feb is their active period of the year?
