Hi, all, m posting again, this time 2 moths for ID.
1. Now, i know that this is a member of the saturniidae family n i know it's a male, just forgot the name.:sweat: It was found in the toilet at the ranger station in macritchie.
2. Found this mature moth cat in my school n it hatched out to be an interesting one. After doing some research, i found a moth called daphnis nerii, of which i suspect it is. Cn someone confirm please?(It's blur coz i used my old cam.)
Both shots are OOF. kekeke
Try covering your in-built flash with a piece of tissue paper to softern the flash light. :)
the 2nd pic looks like Oleander Hawk Moth (Daphnis nerii). :cheers:
Ya, look like that moth in the photo highlight here :) http://butterfly.nss.org.sg/home/index.html
Thx. I didn't know that tissue paper could be of any help.:grin2:Quote:

They normally are. Here is an old photo of an normally coloured cat taken with my dearly departed Box Brownie. I do not think this cat was very well! Just a suggestion, but could the different colouration be due to the fact the cat was about to pupate?
Probably not, Les. I haf reared two cats of the same sp. before n they were coloured much like urs even when they were in their 1st instar, which is only a few mm in length as compared to 12 cm in the latest instar(moths seem to haf more instars:hmmm: ). This cat was orange from the start. Btw, r those dropppings hanging from the cat's behind?Quote:
