4033. Singapore Wildlife Stories. A large purplish moth, Hubner's wasp moth and a small golden moth seen in 2019, 2020, 2022

Dec 21, 2019
A Saturday. Sunny and bright.
I walked along the Seletar Simpang Kiri River.

Seletar Simpang Kiri River   21 Dec 2019

Blood-thirsty mosquitoes landed on my hand stealthily and on my long pants.

I had stopped wearing shorts to protect my legs from mosquitoes.
I was surprised to see this bigger moth and managed to take a sharper image.  It is at least 3 inches wide.

A bigger moth of around 6 cm wide.

For the past days, I see numerous smaller moths on the vacant grassland edge. One of them is shown below.  It is very difficult to focus on the eyes are the moth is thumb-sized or 2 cm wide.

Around 2 cm wide. Is this the younger version of the above?

MORNING STROLL along Lentor Crescent. A golden moth about 2.5 cm wing span fluttered and landed on the wall; near Bullion Park. I took several photos with my Canon DSLR 90D, 18-200 mm lens. Very difficult to focus.
