Russet Percher
This was probably the easiest species to photograph - long perching times and quite striking colours compared to the background. Species: Neurothemis fulvia (Fulvous Forest Skimmer, Russet Percher)

Blue Tiger
At first I didn't realize there there were a variety of "Tiger"'s - Black with light colours. The reserve had a sign showing a few of the species - Ceylon Blue, Blue, Dark Blue, Glassy and more. I tried harder to take photos of each one I saw. Species: Tirumala limniace (blue tiger)

Great Egg-fly In Bright Light
This is a somewhat shaky identification - I believe the white spots on the wings are either overwhelmed by the blue or just worn off. I have a poor photo of the underside of the wing - it better matches (but still worn) Great Egg-fly. In this species the male and female don't look anything alike. Species: Hypolimnas bolina (great eggfly)

Paris Peacock Feeding
This individual has had a rough life - he is missing parts of his wing. The green dots covering the wings really stand out in direct sunlight. Species: Papilio paris (Paris peacock)

Purple Sapphire
These are small butterflies, but this particular one was very patient with me being close by. It has a beautiful purple dorsal side, but it didn't show it to me. Species: Heliophorus epicles (purple sapphire)
