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.

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.

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?
