Quite possible that it is an aberrant Nacaduba calauria malayica
:thinking: This last one looks like an ancyra blue, but the ground colour and border pattern are different.
Aaron ,
Yes , firstly the Ancyra Blue is about half the UFO's size and as you correctly said the base color is different and the wing border marking is different .
Further there are a number of differences if one scrutinize the two.
:cheers:
Yes, after close scrutiny, the two seem less alike. Thx Sunny.:grin2:
Archiving this comparison of Terry's possible Nacaduba calauria malayica for future reference.
Achiving this one here since I am looking at it..... taken in CCA way back in 11/04/07
It is a Nacaduba
The yellow on the UFO seems to extend further up, and the placements of the black spots are different.:thinking: However I cannot think of any other butt that matches. Hopefully a new butt for Singapore.:)Quote:

The yellow tornal markings match the description in C&P4.
Let's pray that the Butterfly Fairy will smile on me again , to have another date with a better specimen of this suspected Tajuria inexpectata and perhaps a A.blanka blanka too!!;P
