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.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦋✨ #Butterfly wing #color comes from #pterin crystals that bend and scatter #light rather than absorb it, keeping colors vivid without fading.
Chemists developed a faster method to grow these #crystals without toxic solvents, producing small amounts of eco-friendly, non-toxic #pigment. The work points toward glitter made from #DNA-related compounds as a planet-friendlier alternative.

#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.

Some tropical butterflies live surprisingly long lives. Is it their high‑protein diet?

CW: Raupe
Habe eben eine Schwalbenschwanz-Raupe an der Petersilie entdeckt!🥰🎉🤗
So eine hab ich ja ewig nicht gesehen!
Wusste gar nicht, dass die auch an Petersilie gehen, aber gut, ist ja ein Doldenblütler und als einzige hier noch schön saftig und grün.🤷♀️
Ich hoffe, das bekommt ihr und sie gedeiht gut davon.😊

As a neurodivergent person I'm interested in taxonomy but as a dyslexic person I find it inconvenient that many taxa have unreadable names that differ from other taxa with just one letter.
papilionoidea (butterflies)
papilionidae (swallowtails)In this case its even two differences, but still it doesn't feel very inclusive to people with learning disabilities (or probably to most people I guess).

An Azure Sapphire butterfly seen basking in the sun.
The iridescent azure blue visible on the wings plays differently when viewed from different angles.
When seen from the front, both the upper fore & hind wings show the reflecting iridescence, when viewed from another angle only a part of the iridescence is seen
Currently no wikipedia page for this beautiful being

From #WellingboroughEcoGroup!
"Gardening for wildlife is probably the easiest way to garden, and is possibly the best thing that you can do for animals. It’s also something that we can all do in our gardens, and if you have one, in our allotments too.
"There’s nothing that beats the sound of #BirdSong, the spectacle of #butterflies and #bees, and the thrill of meeting squirrels and hedgehogs. Between us, we have over a million acres of gardens; these are a rich mixture of #habitats that add up to the largest nature reserve in the country.
"If you can think of your garden as a sunny glade, set amongst the trees of an #UrbanForest, that’s filled with fruits and flowers; with a little encouragement, wildlife will come."
