Almost dried up black wall waterfall & swamp (no rainfall for more than a week!)

First time found this species of butterfly. Is it Tanaecia lepidea? 















Begonia species A - same species as the one that I found in a wet cliff at Padawan.






Begonia species B - metallic blue coloured foliage.


Cryptocoryne ferruginea var. ferruginea from swamp of Batang Sadong

Found Cryptocoryne ferruginea var. ferruginea in new location (freshwater swamp). The foliage also got brown-pinkish colour....but this colony is more than 100km away from the same colony that I found at Bau limestone outcrop. Looks like Calcium Carbonate from limestone outcrop is nothing to with the coloration of the foliage but the mineral contents in the soil.
