Chng,

It looks like a Nacaduba berenice icena (Rounded 6 Line Blue) missing its tails.

While sunning with its wings close, does it tilt one side of its wings to face the sunlight? If so, then it is the Nacaduba berenice icena (Rounded 6 Line Blue). Only this species has this peculiar habit.

Cheers!

Thanks Aaron, for helping to narrow down the ID.

Thanks Uncle Sunny, for such useful information about its behavior. Didn't notice about the sun light direction at that time, will take note in the future.

Looking at the photo, we can see its shadow was cast on the other side (shadow maybe from flash), so I think you're right. Anyway a (+1 (- tail)) for me :bsmile:

:cheers:
