That is a Blue Glassy Tiger butterfly (Ideopsis vulgaris macrina). For this shot, I guess that external flash has been used as main light, at high shutter speeds, hence resulting in the black background. Manual mode I guess? What were your settings? Personally prefer to see a more green background. The flash is a little too harsh as well, flowers on the stalk are blown out.

Just to share, and also for comparison, a Blue Glassy Tiger shot taken also handheld using a Sigma 180mm. Settings were shutter speed of approx 1/125, aperture f11, ISO 400. Note the non-black bg. (got some highlights due to shot against the trees). Needed to take a series of shots before I could get this fairly sharp shot.

Hey, looks like we are all in the mood for butterflies... here's my contribution taken from Perlis... also handheld. I think this is either a different species or subspecies because the patternings are different from the ones you guys posted...

Nice one there MM, yup that is definitely a M'sian butt....also presumably a Glassy Tiger but it has quite different markings from its sg counterpart...could be a sub species
 Will check with my buttpals frens for ID..BTW did u shoot the Rajah Brooke's Birdwing when u were there? Possibly Malaysia's most famous butterfly... http://www.butterflyandgift.com/butterfly/brook.htm

 Those coloured spots are all butts? There's like so many of them!!! Streambanks and other water sources are known places for many butts to congregate and puddle in (i.e. suck up salts and nutrients with their proboscis), but this is the first time I've seen such a concentration of them!
