Very good shots! I like the 1st 2 pics!

Nice shots.
The 1st shot is actually the Dark Glassy Tiger - Parantica agleoides.

The Blue Galssy Tiger in your 2nd shot is feeding on the flower of Heliotropium, which the butterfly group recently introduced into AH. This plant is not common in Singapore. Danainae butterflies are attracted to this plant.

Your knowleadge is impressive..

Azone - i am still far from wat u can do..

Thanks all for the compliments

You are welcome. In Dark Glassy Tiger the 2 blue lines in the forewings are unbroken.

We have introduced both the caterpillar host plant and the butterfly of these 2 species in AH so you will be seeing more of them in AH. Like the Plain Tiger, they are easy (relatively speaking) subject to photograph. So the next time you photgraph these blue glassy butterflies, take a close look at the forewings to see if you can tell them apart.

Hmm.. i still can't differentiate. Which 2 blue lines are they?

Great! Glad to see new species being introduced to the existing range.

OK. I will post a pix to show the diff. Btw, how do you post pix on ClubSnap ? Must the pix be on the web and has a URL first ? I can find the command to insert image from hard disk ?

Thank you! Would love to see a graphical example!

Yup, the pic must be on the web and has a URL. The website that hosts your pic must be able to support hot-linking as well.

No, you can't link from your hardisk.
