The Singapore Butterfly Checklist's species #282 . Thanks to Horace and Sunny for first locating this species, and many of our "partners" - Les Day, Keith Wolfe, Prof Konrad Fiedler for helping us nail the ID of this species!
Featuring the five Swallowtails of Singapore (and one yet to be nailed reliably) Special thanks to Sunny, Chung Pheng, Federick, James and Les for their photos in the feature article.
From the counter placed on our blog, the hit counter has just passed 5,100. Looks like the blog's attracting some readership in a small way.
ButterflyCircle re-discovers the No Brand Grass Yellow (Eurema brigitta senna) and re-instates it to the Singapore Butterfly Checklist. The article traces the re-discovery and the host plant that the caterpillar of the species feeds upon.
I've added a Cluster Map on the BLOG and this shows from where people are visiting the BLOG.
Interesting spread after two days, but I can see Keith's and Les' logon locations in the map. We have Indonesian and Chinese visitors in the past two days as well!
Interesting spread of visitors from all over the world. Can you name all the countries so far?
I can see Australia (Melbourne, Sydney but what's that one in the middle), Indonesia (Jakarta), Singapore, Malaysia (Sarawak), Philippines, Thailand (must be Les), Vietnam, China/Hong Kong (must be Roger), Bangladesh, Oman, Iran , Finland, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, England, Brazil, Mexico and USA (can't name all the cities, anyone wants to help?).
Featuring the Plain Nawab (Polyura hebe plautus). A magnificent large and robust butterfly that can be found in urban areas as well as in the nature reserves. The Plain Nawab is very often a favourite amongst photographers as it is quite easy to shoot when feeding or stopping at its favourite perch to rest.
