A Burmese Sailor (Neptis leucoporos) spotted at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Singapore on 24 May 2026. A common butterfly, but usually skittish, so not easy to get a nice shot.

There are several species of Sailor butterflies here, making field IDs challenging. So it is usually shoot first, ID later.

Mom called and asked for help setting up the pool for summer, so I packed the mothing gear and set up for a warm May night. The moths didn't disappoint. They rarely do.

I've been going through unsorted accessions in the #Australian National #Insect #Collection (#ANIC) here in Canberra to find any plume #moths (#Pterophoridae) and many-plume moths (#Alucitidae) before doing more work to revise the fauna of these two families.

Today, I found this specimen collected by David Rentz in #Kuranda #Queensland in 2007 - it's not a known named Australian species but it looks a close match for Platyptilia microbscura recorded only from #Misool, an island to the west of #NewGuinea:

Well, this isn't THE bug project I was thinking of doing, but once I started it, I was hooked. Stained glass moths, anyone?

First up is the beautiful luna moth (Actias luna)!

This is the first in a series. My plan is to make a bunch of these, highlighting different species, and combine them into a coloring book. I'll probably rework this one as landscape, as the subsequent ones I've been working on look better horizontal, and I want to stay consistent with them.

I also plan to color them myself!

Originally it was going to be all sorts of insects, but the more I dived into moths, I realized they could EASILY fill a whole coloring book by themselves, and still only barely scratch the surface of their amazing variety.

I just really love moths, y'all. 🥰🥰🥰

A Tailless Lineblue (Prosotas dubiosa) spotted at Bukit Gombak Park on 3 May 2025. A small butterfly with a feature that distinguishes it from other similar looking Lineblues: it does not have tails at the hind end of the wings.

I may be 400 miles from home but with the power of a new phenomenon called Internet Wiffy or 5Gees I can bring you a #MothOfTheDay from yesterday’s batch. This is

PEBBLE PROMINENT (see pebble effect on wing)
Notodonta ziczac (great #Latin)

Larvae feed on sallow and poplar. Common and widespread

Callidula sumatrensis spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 27 April 2025. Despite appearances, this is a moth, not a butterfly, and one that is seldom seen.

Milder last night before I head off on my hols for 10 days, and this big beast paid me a visit

#MothOfTheDay is

POPLAR HAWK-MOTH
Laothoe populi

Common, but impressive with a 9cm wingspan in flight and the cutest of cute Muppet-like fuzzy face.
