Ooops! That was an accident, thanks for letting me know Kibuyu.

Lovely butterfly, but it shouldn't be in the Osteology mission - no bones :)

You are the expert Daniele :-) I am removing my suggestion.

Hi Dan and Satyen! It is a Jezebel, but I believe it to be Delias hyparete and not Delias eucharis. Delias hyparete metarete appears to be the subspecies found in Singapore.
