Hi

Saw a few butterflies in the late afternoon.
Manage to take a shot but butterfly rather shy type. With my iPhone.pls see before.

I did a check on list, I suspect is a Abisara savitri savitri
Malay Tailed Judy

Thanks

Thanks Khew again.

There were a pair of black butterfly with white markings on their hindwing but never stop at all.
So can't ID with my limited knowledge.

So P Ubin is a good place to see butterflies rite.

Probably Common Mormons. You can take a look at the checklist to compare if that's what you saw.

Yes, Pulau Ubin is quite good. Just go up to Butterfly Hill and look around. :)

Gd day,
I previously took a pic of a skipper, using the checklist, I thought it is a Malay Dartlet. On Internet saw a pic taken locally of a Lesser Dart. So, not sure which is which? My pic below (not so gd)

The FW is distorted, but both wing markings correspond to the female Taractrocera archias quinta.

Morning n looks like another sunny day.

Just returned from Bt batok park.

Spotted a skipper and like to check if is Palm Bob as shown in first pic.

Then I saw a caterpillar (2nd pic) on a leaf rather in the open. The strange thing is the enlarge head. Wonder is a butterfly or moth? Is the caterpillar normal state?

Gd evening,

I believe the caterpillar I posted in the second pic belongs to a Nolid Moth. So happen while browsing the other posts, another bro captured caterpillar with enlarged green head n became Nolid moth upon pupation.

Thanks
