    Default SBWR/Kranji Nature Trail - 3 Dec 06

    The day started rather gloomy, and it did drizzle as well. But at least the clouds didn't unleash their full power on us. Wong and I checked out SBWR in search of the Sumatran Sunbeam, and as there was no sun, there was no beam either.

    We encountered a small colony of Centaur Oak Blues (at least 6 or more) at a Sea Hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus)
    tree. They were very skittish and required careful stalking. A Blue Nawab also showed up, but too fast for us.

    List of butterflies observed at SBWR & Kranji Nature Trail :
    1. Papilio polytes romulus (Common Mormon)
    2. Leptosia nina malayana (Psyche)
    3. Appias libythea olferna (Striped Albatross)
    4. Catopsilia scylla cornelia (Orange Emigrant)
    5. Eurema hecabe contubernalis (Common Grass Yellow)
    6. Danaus genutia genutia (Common Tiger)
    7. Ideopsis vulgaris macrina (Blue Glassy Tiger)
    8. Parantica agleoides agleoides (Dark Glassy Tiger)
    9. Euploea phaenareta castelnaui (King Crow)
    10. Euploea crameri bremeri (Spotted Black Crow)
    11. Elymnias hypermnestra agina (Common Palmfly)
    12. Mycalesis visala phamis
    13. Orsotriaenea medus cinerea (Nigger)
    14. Hypolimnas bolina bolina (Great Eggfly)
    15. Phaedyma columella singa (Short Banded Sailor)
    16. Polyura schreiberi tisamenus (Blue Nawab)
    17. Arhopala pseudocentaurus nakula (Centaur Oak Blue)
    18. Anthene emolous goberus (Ciliate Blue)
    19. Hypolycaena erylus teatus (Common Tit)
    20. Ampittia dioscorides camertes (Bush Hopper)
    21. Psolos fuligo (Coon)
    Wong, please add on if you recall what we saw this morning.

    We also spotted the common tit & a supposedly tattered Ciliate Blue from the same hibiscus bush.

    I shot 1 UFO, I think is a coon, but i'm not sure.
