    Papilionidae

    2 Great Helens! Surprised they weren't on the list in the first place.



    Not sure if you want to add non-local species in, here are some dragontails.



    Nymphalidae

    Is feeding on bird droppings considered puddling? If it is here's Eulaceura osteria kumana and Tawny Palmfly.



    Lycaenidae

    They look more like red helens. Nice shot. Red helens r known to puddle. Mr Khew says that great helens haf not been observed to puddle in singapore. Does anyone know why da bottom helen has those white spots at the edge of the hindwings?

    and i taught (and almost all of the other 'cher) that our dear butterflies feed on nectar

    now i'm supposed to tell my kids that they feed on bird sh*t?

    they'd get marked wrong for exams..
