A Common Bluebottle (Graphium sarpedon) spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 24 Nov 2024. A fast flyer, it is usually on the move, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get close shots of this resting individual.

For #MothMonday I give you the leaf mine of the Poison Ivy Leaf-miner Moth. As its name suggests, the larvae live in and mine the insides of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron) leaves, clearly unaffected by the oil that so irritates human skin. The mines are relatively common around here (southern Manitoba). The adults are small but rather elegant.

First #moth box of 2025. Wasn't expecting anything, to be honest, so surprised to get three. Of course, I could have bet my mortgage on them being these three given how early it is in the season. Hardy souls from last night:
1) Hebrew Character (left)
2) Early Grey (top right)
3) Common Quaker (bottom right)
