ha, now we start shooting at canopy levelbut actually got tip off from my wife saying that there are many Lime and Painted Jazebel fluttering there at the overhead bridge, just a 3 minutes walk from my HDB flat house. Since this a cloudy morning so I decided to try my luck there. Butts sighted include:
1. 1 plain tiger,
2. 3~4 Lemon Emigrant (two forms),
3. 3~4 Lime Butts, male & female,
4. 2 skippers, (posted the orange fro ID)
5. Cycad blue,
6. 2~3 Com Mime
7. 1 Painted Zazebel
Quite good considering the number of species sighted over at the OHB! in 1.5hrs time, Butts sighting at just your door step!

Erm... it's Painted Jezebel.
Anyway, Gan's right - what you shot is one of the 3 Telicota species which occurs here in Singapore. I've not updated our Singapore checklist as there is always this nagging doubt about their ID's. Those of you who have C&P4, can compare, though the book doesn't show the undersides. So we'll have to depend on actual specimens. What is needed, are the males/females when mating. If you ever come across a mating pair, try to capture them for me to compare with those in my collection. The reason is that the males are females are slightly different and are also variable.
The 3 species which occur here in Singapore (according to C&P4) are :
Telicota augias augias
Telicota besta bina
Telicota colon stinga
