4146. Performance of butterflies and dragonflies on Sat 22 and Sun 23 Oct 2022

 22 Oct 2022. 9 AM. Bright sunny morning.

I was surprised to see the 4 species of butterflies reappearing in YCKC forest path. They were absent for a long time owing to thermal fogging and slashing of the plants and tree pruning in this forest path.

 

BUTTERFLIES

1. Unusual friendship. A yellow and a white butterfly danced and courted each other on the road for full 10 minutes. Species don't socialise and hence this was unsual.

2. Butterfly 3.  brown striped
3. Butterfly 4. chocolate pansy.

4. Dragonflies - yellow golden and red. Small size, hence juvenile.  Reappears. 

5. Rare green and maroon moth seen again. 

6. Mosquitoes active

22 Oct 2022: The Butterflies Dance For Me
 Yio Chu Kang Cres road. Two species do not socialise. The yellow butterfly rarely stop fluttering. But for around 10 minutes, these two danced on their toes, twirl and fly here and there. Like ballerinas on wings on a sunny morning at 9 AM.  If you love Nature and wildlife, they reciprocate when you visit their domain. In this case, unexpectedly,the two species team up to dance for me! For a long time.                                                                       shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets

SUNDAY 23 OCT 2022. EVE OF DEEPAVALI

SUNDAY 23 OCT 2022. EVE OF DEEPAVALI

24 Oct 2022:
Happy Deepavali.
I saw this rare (in Yio Chu Kang Cres forest) butterfly on eve of Deepavali. It flew within 6 feet but it flew away as I was trying to place my tripod to take a photo. It flew some 50 feet away. I managed to take a good photo. Its wings displayed the "lights" which Hindus placed on the eve of Deepavali.

This species is seldom sighted in Yio Chu Kang Cres forest. It is medium-sized and brown. Its "eyes" are prominent. By spreading its wings out, the image reminds me of the "lights" placed by Hindus on the floor, on the eve of Deepavali.
