Habitat & Habits
The Banded Yeoman is rather rare in Singapore, and has only been encountered on a few occasions in recent years. Most of the time, the butterfly has been observed at flowering trees in the nature reserves. Although a relatively common butterfly in nearby Johor, the species is not as often seen in Singapore. In flight, the Banded Yeoman can be mistaken for the Rustic (Cupha erymanthis lotis), which is the commoner of the two species in Singapore.
