Changeable Lizard Basking
This guy was basking at the top of a waist high bush - he was perfect height for photographs. I expected him to disappear when we got within metres of it, but it was quite patient. The lizard was basking so he was probably cold. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > Hong Kong 11 > Changeable Lizard Basking

Banded Tree Brown
This butterfly really liked this rock. The rock was in the middle of the meadow and lots of people walked by. The butterfly would sometimes take off, only to turn around and return back to almost the same spot. Species: Lethe confusa (banded treebrown)

Russet Percher
Another species we saw at both the nature reserve and the the butterfly park. Most of the dragonflies you see in BC have entirely transparent wings, some with spots on them. This species is the opposite - opaque wings with transparent spots. This photo is a composite of two images for depth of field.

Asian Common Toad
Oh, saucy! This wasn't a large pond, but I'm sure it's big enough for this pair. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > Hong Kong 11 > Asian Common Toad

Common Five Ring Dry Season
I didn't know this existed with butterflies - the butterflies that emerge in the dry season have a different number of spots than the ones that come out in the wet season (July here). The wet season version would have three rings on the bottom wing instead of two seen here. Species: Ypthima baldus (common fivering)

Glassy Tiger On Billygoat Weed
There are a variety of butterflies that look pretty similar. Thankfully I have a book of local butterflies which makes it easier to figure out which of the similar types this is. The butterfly is feeding on a weed introduced from the new world. The weed contaminates feed (it is poisonous) and spreads real well.
