The Pea Blue, Lampides boeticus. A female ovipositing on the hostplant. This butterfly is quite a strong flyer and flies rather rapidly. The uppersides of the female are a pale shining blue with broad brown-black borders.
The Knight, Lebadea martha parkeri, showing its undersides. The Knight is not exactly common and is usually found in forested areas where it frequently perches with outspread wings. This butterfly is also particularly sensitive to camera flashes, making it a challenge to photograph its uppersides, which are beautifully and intricately patterned. The photos below represent some of my attempts to capture this butterfly on film.
The photos were taken at Pasir Ris Park.
