I notice that the ocellus on the underside hindwing in space 2 of a female is bigger than that in a male. Also the presence of a tornal black spot on a female is not observed on a male Dark Blue Jungle Glory. I hope I am right to make these observations. 
While I was searching for a mating pair and the larval host plant, I almost bumped into this spider web overhanging my head. I have no idea what spider this is.
I cannot remember if I have seen this black beetle before. Those vertical white markings on its wings did not help to conceal itself especially when it rested on a green foliage. It stayed very still for me to take a few shots but from an awkward angle. It looks like a kind of Darkling Beetle (?) Again, I have very poor knowledge of beetle, so I can't really tell what species it is.
I am not sure if this is a fly or something else which kept flapping its wings on a leaf surface.
This is another spider found along a forest trail. I noticed that spiders seemed to be thriving in our nature reserves these days. 
This is Ictinogomphus decoratus, a rather big but common dragonfly found near the reservoir edge. It kept coming back to the same perch, so getting a shot was rather easy. 
I remember during my early years of butterfly watching and photography, it was quite rare for me to see a Dark Blue Jungle Glory. However, I have been sighting this species more frequently in the past few months. I feel that this is a puzzle that we are yet to find out all the answers.
