Thirsty Butterfly?

[NiVleK]

This particular butterfly is funny. It seems very attracted to yellow objects and have a great thirst. I notice it fluttering around some kid's yellow slippers and later on, we placed the sentosa's island guide on a rock and waited. True enough, it got attracted to the bright yellow object and landed. Interestingly, it began to suck up the little drop of water I dripped on the guide.

After that, it got so engrossed in sucking the water that it drank from my fingers and then climbed on top of it! :bsmilie:

Can anyone identify it?

From the last pic, can see a droplet of water behind the butterfly. It was drinking and peeing at the same time... LOL
