Sharing A Few Butterflies Part VIII

[andylausk]

Hm, speaking of this butterfly, I have a story to tell.
I was strolling around taking random photos in Pasir Ris Park back in 2007 when a group of 4 excited gentleman (can’t recall if there was a lady among them too) came to me and motioned me to whip out my camera take a photo of this butterfly (thinking back, I believed they didn’t have cameras with them then). At that time, my knowledge on butterflies was limited and didn’t realize it was rare so I casually took a few photos only. At the same time, they got yet another fellow photographer to shoot the butterfly too. One of them told me the name of this butterfly but I found it hard to remember. I could only remember the word “blue”. Haha. It was only after a research back home then I realize it’s none other than the Blue Nawab.
On my subsequent visits to the park till now, I have not a chance to shoot it again.

I've been looking for that blue nawab for the longest time
That shot looks like the one that was similar as Richard's so im guessing one of the 4 gentleman was him?
