This white band can be very variable, ranging from a distinct white band to almost none at all. ButterflyCycle

Scientific name: Miletus biggsii biggsii

When I spotted it with many ants, I tried to observed the relationship between this butterfly and ants, as I saw the ants did not attack the butterfly.
Base on Butterflyclyce’s observation:
It trying to lay eggs amongst some aphids which were tended by ants. The ants do not seem to bother with the butterfly and will not attack it.

Spotted at Windsor Nature Park
