thanks for the ID!Originally Posted by Psyche
Yes. You have a typical Arhopala athada.
I guess 1 is A. sublustris which according to C&P4 is common in Singapore.
As for the Malayan Crow. Not sure if it is the local subspecies malayica which the male had recently been redicovered in Singapore.
The spots are a bit reduced and small for ssp. malayica, but this could be just normal variation.

I asked about the crow because this wasn't shot in the wild. I shot this in the butterfly aviary in Sentosa last year, but chucked it into the Un-ID files. Since i'm digging some of it out now, i thought i'd post it just to ask.
There's another ssp for this crow, paraclaudina. i don't know if this is malayica or the former since it wasn't shot in the wild. but thanks for ID-ing, at least i know what species it is now.
