  1. 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.

  10. Chalk Hill Blue (Polyommatus coridon) and Adonis Blue (Polyommatus bellargus) #butterflies on The South Downs near #Brighton
    These #butterfly species are #native and mostly found on Chalk Grassland habitat. Still flying in September!

  11. #MothOfTheDay is not one that usually comes to light. Often seen flying around field edges and old chalk pits round here. Often thought of as a butterfly, but is in fact a moth. (and not easy to photograph. Very non-compliant!)

  12. #les3bonheursdujour ou plutôt LE 🦋 🦋 BONHEUR DE LA SEMAINE 🦋🦋

    Bientôt l'échéance d'un concours de photos d'insectes du jardin... et voici des modèles venus en nombre pour poser au soleil sur la petite plante à fleurs jaunes isolée que j'ai épargnée de la tonte... il y a trois mois !! 🤩 🤩
    Je dis merci à la vie !

  13. Something interesting happened here this afternoon! We had an amassing of Monarchs (pre-migration behavior) which began with 5, then grew to 8 butterflies...except one was a Viceroy! I've never seen that before, a Viceroy joining in and hanging around with a group of Monarchs.
    Maybe it was nothing, maybe we just have the best buffet in town lol.
    Still, interesting to see!
    Eventually, the Viceroy moved on, the Monarch group peaked at 10.

  14. Life is hard some days, but hang in there like this gravity-defying monarch caterpillar. Better days and beautiful changes ahead.

  15. #MothOfTheDay is

    THE VESTAL
    Rhodometra sacraria

    Not the best photo, but it wasn't mad keen on hanging around for me! Migrant species largely in southern UK, from Africa and European continent, comes over on late summer and autumnal breezes. Larvae feed on knotgrass and dock.

  16. 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?

  17. Beauty All Around

    There is beauty all around. But we usually don't notice it. . Life gets busy, our minds get distracted, and sometimes we become so focused on our problems that we stop seeing the good around us. Look again today. God has filled His creation—and your life—with beautiful things to enjoy. You just gotta look. 💎 ✨Click to read the full devotional
