SteemitPhotoChallenge 4th round: Butterfly on flower (entry 2)
I came out of Dhoby Ghuat train station in Singapore walking to Istana Park to take some pictures of the National Day decoration when I notice these flowers at the roadside. There was a yellow butterfly on one but as I close up, I scared it away. Then I saw a few more butterflies and this picture is one where I was closest without scaring it away again. Not red nor yellow but red+yelllow=orange.
I remembered reading something about tiger butterfly sometime back and decided to do some quick googling. From my search, I came across the interesting page:
https://nss.org.sg/butterflies_list/check_list.php?cl_mst_id=2&ac=v
From this post, I concluded this wasn't the tiger butterfly (which are no. 37 to 39 in the list) but rather more likely to be no. 95. - Scientific Name: Junonia almana javana (Peacock Pansy).
If anyone knows better, please do reply and share more information.
