My sweaty camera bag was a fine bait - but not the best background for nice shots!
Four species of Sumalia are currently known viz. S. chilo, S. agneya, S. daraxa & S. zulema - the two latter recorded in Vietnam.
S. daraxa ranges from the West Himalayas to Borneo. In Vietnam, it is present in the north and center of the country.
