    Default Some stuff from Bukit Batok West.

    Took a long walk around Bukit Batok West with a classmate that seems to be interested in butterfly photography.Found a bunch of butterflies,buy didn't manage to shoot most(even if I did,the shots were hideous)

    Taractrocera archias quinta?


    Nacaduba?


    Tagiades japetus atticus,(Common Snow Flat).


    Encountered my second Chestnut Angle today as well,but it didn't allow me to get close.

    You found something interesting.
    1 & 3 are correct.

    2 is a female Nacaduba kurava nemana.
    The forewing submarginal spots form a broad band with the inner margin rounded or scallopped.
    The hindwing submarginal spot 6 is particularly large.

    Here are two examples of female kurava for comparison though they belong to different subspecies.
    From India.
