Nice colours and beautiful shots, thanks for sharing. I've only got a picture of this BF's broken wing in my house, apparently it was eaten

Unless you live up in Malaysia, Singapore doesnt have this species here. What you may have seen at your place (if your in Singapore that is) would more likely be the Leopard Lacewing (Cethosia cyane) which does look similar at a glance.

 

[ionicbeam]

Oh yes my bad. It has no rings, only spots. Thanks for the clarification :thumbsup:

[Papilio]

The No Brand Grass Yellow is a species that was recently re-discovered by ButterflyCircle members. Read about the early stages of the species at the Butterflies of Singapore Blog. Hopefully with the redevelopment of the site where it was found, it can still survive by moving to other sites and remain as a species in Singapore.
