Description
The main characteristics separating the Club Silverline from the Long-Banded Silverline are the club-shaped basal streak on the underside of the forewing and the mainly black edging of the silver streaks as compared to the reddish brown of the Long-Banded Silverline. The species has two pairs of white-tipped tails and an orange tornal area on the hindwings..

Habitat & Habits
The Club Silverline is one of two species of the genus Spindasis to be found in Singapore. Of the two, the other being the Long-Banded Silverline (Spindasis lohita senama), the Club Silverline is much rarer. It is rarely encountered but when observed, it is usually on a bright sunny day as it flies rapidly amongst grassy undergrowth

Other Observations
The species has also been observed at Pulau Tekong.

Thanks Yes, perhaps one of the few good things that the govt has done is to create a greener country for us. On the hindsight, areas are also being cleared for development. The area where this butterfly used to be found no longer exist unfortunately
