Butterflies of Laos

There are so many butterflies in Laos, that I could spend months exploring and photographing them. It is a lep heaven. So much of the land is pristine. Without the use of chemicals, the insects have flourished. So far, there has been no effort to document all of the species. Maybe someday I will get to return and stay for an indefinite period of time.

Keep up the good work! Haven't had a chance to look at Laotian Leps since 1968 on the upper Mekong near the boarders with China & Myanmar. I recommend the area highly, if you can get there, it's well worth the a long river trip, and should be much safer these days.

you took wonderful pictures! I am soon going to visit Laos and I am especially interested in butterflies and birds. Do you know good places to spot some and did you have a guide to distinguish them? Any suggestions about fauna is very welcome! Thanks in advance!

This is a fantastic gallery. I had no idea that Laos had many of the same species as Taiwan. Great work!!
