Hahahaha.. I did a search of butterfly species singapore
then look through many many sites.. for those sites that have picture and the butterfly name, and keep comparing to find one that looks like yours.

Thanks for that.

I did not like the flash reflection from the leaves.....kind of shiny and all that.
BTW, are the tips of the wing white? when I used levels, I used the white dropper on the 'white' tip....

simonsng · 24th April 2005

you can try using the shadow/highlight function in PS. Males have white tips
