14. Singapore Wildlife: A rare sighting of a small white butterfly in Singapore's Yio Chu Kang Crescent

Sat April 11, 2020

Today, I would like to share a rare sighting of a small white butterfly flitting on the plants at the side of the Seletar Simpang Kiri River in Yio Chu Kang Crescent near the Seletar Bus Depot. This butterfly would fold his wings immediately and rarely unfold his wings when he is at rest.  He looked like the white sibling of the more common yellow small butterflies.

Very difficult to get an image of unfolded wings as the small
white butterfly will immediately fold his wings when at rest
