I still pursue this hobby with goals in mind and in truth, with an even more determined mindset after the first year. But enough of listing &#8216;accomplishments&#8217; as it seems rather self-indulgent. Instead, there are some stories to tell and memories to jot down.<\/p>\n<p>So let me start by posting butterflies instead of birds. The Great Orange Awlet (<em>Burara etelka<\/em>) is a rarely seen butterfly as it prefers to be active during dawn and dusk. It&#8217;s hard to miss though if it&#8217;s around, due to it&#8217;s intense orange colour. I was lucky to have seen this one at Jelutong Tower in the early morning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fryap.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=329\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"329\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/24\/the-journey-continues\/great-orange-awlet\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 70D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Jelutong Tower&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1400831500&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Great Orange Awlet&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Great Orange Awlet\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Jelutong Tower&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-329 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/fryap.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523.jpg\" alt=\"Great Orange Awlet\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fryap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/great-orange-awlet-img_3875-100canon-140523-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After Jelutong Tower, I went walking on the trails where I met the female and male Saturn (<em>Zeuxidia amethystus<\/em>).
