Quite possible that it is an aberrant Nacaduba calauria malayica

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.

[atronox]

Yes, after close scrutiny, the two seem less alike. Thx Sunny.

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. However I cannot think of any other butt that matches. Hopefully a new butt for Singapore.

Come to think of it, it does quite resemble T. inexpectata, a sp that was never recorded from sg before.
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!!
