Common Palmfly (Elymnias hypermnestra)

A Common Palmfly, Elymnias hypermnestra, feeding on a torch ginger flower. At the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Another Common Palmfly resting on foliage in shade. The Common Palmfly, perhaps unusually for a butterfly, prefers to fly in shaded areas.

Another individual resting on an aerial tree root.
