Cethosia hypsea hypsina
First two pictures only are Malay Lacewing.
Separated from other very similar Lacewing Butterflies by having only a single white band between the two shades of orange on the hindwing underside and a more colourful forewing tip. Picture 3 shows a Leopard Lacewing for comparison. The Plain Lacewing is similar to the Leopard but the 2nd white band is narrower and it has little black on the forewing tips.

Thanks Jonathon, fixed. It is often caused by a bug in the program which causes it to select plants if you click too close to the border of a box, a slight misalignment of the hotlink template. A bit like your mis-spelling of Arthropods!
