Wildlife Photography: Leopard Lacewing Butterfly



Leopard Lacewing spotted at Penang Butterfly Farm

The Leopard Lacewing (Cethosia cyane) is a species of heliconiine butterfly found from India to southern China (southern Yunnan), and Indochina. Its range has expanded in the last few decades, and its arrival in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, including Singapore, is relatively recent. ~ Wikipedia
