The caterpillar of the Knight (Lebadea martha) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 9 Nov 2025. See yesterday's post for an image of the adult.

A caterpillar on a leaf. The caterpillar has a pattern of dark and light brown patches on its body. Each body segment has a series of points with sharp spines poking out. Another view of the caterpillar.

I've been so busy lately that I've not had much time to take photos. But here are some insects. #

This medium sized yellow butterfly with brown edges to its wings (as viewed from the topside of the wings) is a clouded sulphur butterfly. It's nectaring on some kind of catmint. You usually don't see the topside of this butterfly's wings, as they are usually closed at rest. Here is a small dragonfly with bright green eyes, a powder blue abdomen and a black and yellow thorax in a obelisk posture (head down, butt up) on a hot day. It is a male blue dasher dragonfly. This large dragonfly has a dark body and wings with brown and white patches on them. It is a male widow skimmer dragonfly. I saw this rather large black. white and yellow caterpillar climbing all over some not-very-healthy-looking milkweed. It is a Monarch caterpillar, a late instar I would guess based on its size.
