Description
| Description | This is a subspecies of the Malaysian mainland Euploea midamus chloe (Blue Spotted Crow), which is found on Singapore Island and on Pulau Tioman. The subspecies singapura lacks the blue sheen of the mainland species. At a glance, the Singaporean subspecies resemble Euploea crameri bremeri (Spotted Black Crow) very closely. The only difference is that in this species, there are 3 elongated white spots at the apex of the forewing, as compared to Euploea crameri bremeri's 4 spots. This is not easy to distinguish when the two species are in flight. |
