Cressida cressida, the clearwing swallowtail or 'big greasy' butterfly. Large and conspicuously coloured - it is toxic to potential predators. Toxins are absorbed from the food that it eats as a caterpillar. Seen in Cape York. FNQ.

An Apefly (Spalgis epius) spotted in Punggol, Singapore on 25 Oct 2025. A small, rare butterfly whose caterpillar feeds on mealybugs. It gets it name for the supposed resemblance of its pupa to the face of an ape.

Whole lotta Lepidoptera on the Butterfly Bush the last few days. Mostly Monarchs and frits.

All 5 Black Swallowtail caterpillars have now formed chrysalids. Oddly enough, the final caterpillar decided to position itself right in between two existing chrysalids, a tight squeeze. And the upper chrysalis shown here is slightly larger than the other two; possibly a female?

A Monarch #butterfly #caterpillar that had been on some Milkweed in the back yard. It's now on the ground next to the Milkweed plants. Is it crawling off to form a chrysalis?

Four out of the 5 Black Swallowtail caterpillars have either formed or are in the process of forming chrysalids. In the photo the upper caterpillar has assumed the characteristic J shape prior to becoming a chrysalis, and the bottom one has completed forming the chrysalis.

#Caterpillar #Butterflies #NativePlants
On today’s #DailyWalk, I took along the loppers and a handsaw. Part of my trail system goes across an area that’s often too soggy to mow, and that area needed some clearing before I can go through again with the tractor/mower.
Anyway, there’s swamp milkweed in the swampy area 🤔🤠 And on one plant I found a monarch butterfly caterpillar.

We now have 5 Black Swallowtail caterpillars on the garden Fennel. We collected them and have sacrificed more Fennel so that the cats (to use the cool/nerdy lepidopterist's slang for caterpillars) are now ensconced in a luxurious cage for observation. We thus hope to guide them on their journey to butterfly-hood.

Scenes from a walk pt 2 over #SouthDowns from Glynde to Lewes.
#Butterflies, including a rarity.Not the easiest to photo with an iPhone. Not at all compliant, so quite blurry. But this isn't a photography post; it's a natural world educational one.

2) Small Heath (declining species)

#SeedSavingExchange - Learn how to create a garden that will attract #NativePollinators with #SeedSaving in mind.
Excerpt:
"Serve Up an Enticing Menu Year-Round
Flowering plants supply #pollinators like #bees and #butterflies with essential pollen and nectar. #PollinatorFriendly plants also provide a safe shelter for our hard-working insect friends. The most important aspect of any pollinator garden is diversity. Because pollinators are active from April to October, make sure you have a colorful array of continuously blooming flowers from early spring through fall and keep your plants free of pesticides, fungicides, and insecticides.
Plants should be selected based on the space they will occupy. Specifically, consider your space’s soil type, sun exposure, and moisture levels.
You may also choose to select plant species to support specific pollinators.
- To help monarch butterflies, include #milkweeds and high-quality nectar plants like blazingstars.
- To support #Bumblebees, include plants like #WildBergamot, #hyssop, and #goldenrod.
- #Sunflowers offer not only a supportive perch but also seeds to help attract #hummingbirds and other feathered friends to your garden. #Honeysuckles are also a great way to attract hummingbirds.To ensure that the pollinators will have something to forage from spring through fall, select various natives that flower at different times throughout the growing season. Choosing plants with a variety of flower colors and shapes will also help attract an assortment of insects of a variety of sizes and foraging habits. Larger clusters of a plant species are better for attracting pollinators than several smaller clusters in and around the garden space."

An account of yesterday's match in The Hundred (women's), though the title is appropriate to Phoenix's whole tournament, not just yesterday's match. Also a link to a #quiz I created and a photo gallery.
