Field Notes

Description:

First two pictures only are Malay Lacewing.<br>
Separated from other very similar Lacewing Butterflies by having only a single white band between the two shades of orange on the hindwing underside and a more colourful forewing tip. Picture 3 shows a Leopard Lacewing for comparison. The Plain Lacewing is similar to the Leopard but the 2nd white band is narrower and it has little black on the forewing tips.

Habitat:

Changi Airport Butterfly Garden.

Thanks Jonathon, fixed. It is often caused by a bug in the program which causes it to select plants if you click too close to the border of a box, a slight misalignment of the hotlink template. A bit like your mis-spelling of Arthropods!
