I'm not sure of it's name, it could be the tirumala septentrianis but I remembered reading about this butterfly at the HortPart was this butterfly can excrete poisonous liquid to safe itself from the predator. These beautiful creatures were photographed at the walk-through butterfly flight area in The Fragile Forest at the Singapore Zoo. They are human friendly and will even land on the visitors there.
