interesting room-mate you have. very beautiful shots
It looks beautiful and pretty big in the picture. I don't know its name, hope it flew away because his home is mother Nature, he will feel better outside. Have a nice day.
It was rather small and about size of our ten cents coin. I should have put the coin beside it to show you the size. It looked big because I zoom on it.
I try to make it fly away by blowing on it but it refuses to move...lol.
So I guided it on a piece of paper and placed it near the window and finally it flew away.

It's not a butterfly, but rather a little moth native to S'pore called Amata huebneri (synonym: Syntomis huebneri (Day-flying Moth, Wasp Moth). Photo1, Photo2
It is one of the few moths that come out in the daytime, & as you have observed, it is not as jittery as butterflies tend to be. Another moth clue: its wings are spread when it is in the resting position. Butterflies fold up their wings when they assume the resting position.

Ain't sure of it's species name but confirm it's a butterfly arh?
But the spots on it really look beautiful. Hope it doesn't sting!!
I have photographed a "Progressive Bee Fly" and it is on my blog. I don't know if this is that or not.
you got it to stay still for you?

i think it is a moth but i am not too sure.

It can sting you and can be very itchy.
