Singapore American School Rainforest
Hi Singapore American School! Are you using US references to identify Singapore butterflies? Most species are not found worldwide; the geographic distribution of species can be checked out with resources such as Wikepedia, or Encyclopedia of Life for instance.The red spotted purple (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) is a North American species, and if you look carefully you'll see that it only bears a vague resemblance to your butterfly here . For butterflies in Singapore the site http://www.butterflycircle.com/ is an excellent and trusted online reference, and is full of useful information. We hope this will help.
