Graphium eurypylus sighted in Singapore!

[Chequered Lancer]

At first, I passed this as Graphium doson, but then Khew informed me that it was something way more significant!

I apologize for the lousy shot, it darted off to the treetops after this shot.

Congratulations, Jerome. New to Singapore? Should be subspecies G. eurypylus mecisteus.

Thank you Les! I suppose so, it could be a stray from Malaysia? Thank your for the update on it's ID. :)

[Psyche]

Congrats. Jerome.

I have often thought about this one, since among the Graphium species this one ranges from India to Australia , similar to G. agamemnon, showing it is a great wanderer.
Its hostplant also includes cultivated species like Annona (soursop, sweetsop.) Michelia cempaca, & Polyathia, again similar to G. agamemnon.

I had actually check pix of Graphium to see whether it has been missed.

My guess is this individual was taken in Pulau Ubin?

You were not the only one! I should also thank Khew for his usual eagle eyes!

Pulau Ubin, yes, makes sense.

Congrats again, Jerome!

Surprisingly, this one strayed really far into the heart of the Central Catchment forests where Jerome shot it. I would also have expected it to appear in Ubin, where it probably will be found as well, if it stays long enough to be shot.
