BVT is the rarest of all the 'Tigers' but recently there has been a few sightings of BVT - at AH, Bukit Batok area and recently Sonix from ClubSnap posted (http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=77406) shots of BVT taken at AMK ! :hmmm: I wonder where the butt came from ? I don't think its host plant can be found around AMK area.

My personal experience is that the BVT, like most of the Tigers and Crows, can be pretty far-ranging as it's a tough butt and can fly long distances (like its distant cousin, the Monarch). I've seen one on the Heliotropium on my balcony before, so I wouldn't be totally surprised if it is seen in urban areas and gardens.

It's the most common Tiger on Pulau Tekong when we were doing surveys there. It outnumbered the Common and Plain Tigers by at least 8:1.

Also sighted the BVT once at Ubin, near the N Park office and another time at MOG.
