ID required for beautiful moth

[tltan]

Hi,

I shot this quite sometime ago in Pulau Ubin. I believe this is a moth. Hope to get the ID for this. Very beautiful but not captured by me nicely.

Hi, there's plenty of these in ponggol east. Initially thought it was a 'new' white butterfly when I saw it flying :bsmile:

ID dunno, but the moth experts can help later.

Hi tltan,

Welcome to ButterflyCircle!:)

Believe it is the Utetheisa lotrix (http://asia.geocities.com/hkmoths/noc/arc/ute_lotr.jpg) though yours might be a faded copy.

Plenty of these on the Butterfly Hill at Pulau Ubin and lately they have crossed the straits and now populate the grassland at Punggol area.


:cheers:

hi there.

bluesteel?

Thanks for ID. I was looking through the id as well. but the colors appear different. so the colors will fade?

Anyway, I got this on a hill in Pulau Ubin (undergoing construction) the last time but lots of butterfly. So I guess thats butterfly hill? Its pretty near to the jetty though, after the shop houses, reach a slope or hill, climb up and there is a pavilion shelter right smack on top. =) Is that the butterfly hill?

tltan.

Yap that is Butterfly Hill in Pulau Ubin and the layout and selection of plants for the hill was by none other than Khew (Commander).

Yes, I am Bluesteel at CS.:)

Warmest Regards!

I was at Sentosa Butterfly Park and managed to talk to a guy there. he is very experienced. Wonder whether he is in this forum as well.
