This one I'm not sure what it is. Had only a quick shot.

This looks a lot like the Orange Awlet, only much larger.

Richard,
Very nice shots of butts across the causeway!
Hope some of them will emigrate across the straits !:bsmile:
:cheers:
Good capture of some beautiful butts across the straits.
Look like you have spotted many species.
Thanks for sharing these shots
The unknown Lycanid looks very much like Drupadia scaeva scaeva (The Blue Posy). As it is found both in Malaysia and Sumatra, I would say it is a good bet that it should be in Singapore. Keep looking.
The Awlet could well be the Great Orange Awlet, Burara (or Bibasis) etelka, which is simlar, but much larger, to B. harisa. It has been found in Singapore and is on your checklist.

Delias Rule, OK
Thank you Les. Just got back from the trip yesterday was pretty tied up with preparing some workshop materials and did not check our checklist.

If that is the Drupadia scaeva scaeva (The Blue Posy)
Here is the side shot of one from Gunong Pulai , Johore, Malaysia.

After shooting this at Johore on 13 Aug ... On hingsight I might have encountered the Singapore version on National Day somewhere in the CCA thinking that it was the Dark Posy.

Not sure Sunny, as this butt is pretty fretish and when it landed it immediately went into the open winged pose.
Richard
good capture there Richard
minor correction to the name, you type them with your memory?
Zemeros emesoide emesoides
Zemeros flegyas albipunctatus
Thanks SC for the corrections. Copied from Chin's checklist. Looks like my typo is getting from bad to worst.
Richard
can anyone help to confirm the id of the Arhopala aurea?
Not from a shot like this. In any case, the forewing is a bit too rounded for A. aurea, unless this is a female.
thanks :)
