A Common Mormon (Papilio polytes), female, that rested near my feet spotted at Pasir Ris Park, Singapore, on 21 Dec 2019. Much easer to take than when chasing it all over the place. :-)

Happy to spot the Malayan (Megisba malaya sikkima) at the Pandan River, Singapore, on 14 Aug 2019. The last time I got a shot of it was in 2016.

The Malayan is a small, moderately rare butterfly in Singapore. I saw it fluttering on the ground and decided to take a closer look. What I saw got my heart excited. :-)

(Pt. 1) I haven't spotted the Crow (Euploea sp.) butterflies in Singapore for a few years. So, more than happy to see three of them at the Butterfly Hill at Pulau Ubin on 3 Aug 2019: the Striped Blue Crow (Euploea mulciber mulciber), the Striped Black Crow (Euploea eyndhovii gardineri) and the Dwarf Crow (Euploea tulliolus ledereri). :-)

See Pt. 2 for links to them on iNaturalist.
