Had a few shots of this sailor-like butterfly, thinking it was a Grey Sailor on location. However checking against the checklist comes back with the possibility that this is a Dot-Dash Sergeant. What do you think?

Yep, that is Athyma kanwa kanwa.

Looks like they're in season. Just saw another one at USR after we left MNT. It was too skittish and I've got a poor shot of its underside. The host plants of the Athyma as I mentioned to you, are species of the Uncaria. The characteristic hook along the stems of the plants make the plants quite easy to locate.
Thanks Les and Khew for the ID confirmation.
Will try to locate the host plant next time to that location in USR.
