4154. Singapore Wildlife: Dot-dash sergeant butterfly in Yio Chu Kang Crescent forest 27 Oct 2022

SINGAPORE WILDLIFE - 27 Oct 2022. 10AM. Bright sunshine. Yio Chu Kang Cres forest. This may be the dot-dash sergeant butterfly (Athyma kanwa kanwa) which is one of 5 species of Athyma present in Singapore's forests. It is very difficult to identify the 5 species as Athyma kanwa kanwa at the time of writing this report.

It basks on the blade of grass for over 5 minutes. I was able to take a sharp photo and video. A tripod is NECESSARY. I used Canon R5, 24-105mm lens. For images, I use AV Mode, F/16, ISO 100, tripod and got this sharp photo as I shot several frames. Slight breeze, but the butterfly was stationary. Bright sunshine is important for sharp images.

This dot-dash sergeant butterfly, taken on 27 Oct 2022, 10 AM, at Yio Chu Kang Cres forest,
appears to have a pimple or an extra eye (small lump). Tripod is necessary to get such a sharp image. Canon R5 camera is said to specifically focus on wildlife eyes. Butterfly came just 6 feet away to get such a sharp image. I did visualise getting a sharp photo of this rare butterfly and it happened yesterday. Being 6 feet away is quite unsafe distance from humans for many butterflies. TO BUY PHOTO: www.shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets

Yio Chu Kang Cres forest path at junction, opposite Seletar Bus Depot.

A few mosquitoes tried to bite me. Forest path had been cut and grass trimmed. Had thermal

fogging 3 days ago and more often as there is the Seletar Bus Depot with employees.

Remove background of images - how to do it if no PS, AI etc.?
Answer.  Can try GIMP

One comment. Downloaded a bird to GIMP. Make picture transparent but could not erase the top and bottom of picture which has text. Went to Lunapic, crop it in Lunapic cutting off the top and bottom where words are. Allowed to use it.

SINGAPORE MOMENTUM SCULPTURE by David Gerstein, 2007, near Raffles Place MRT Station, is a kaleidoscopic pyramid made up of painted steel figures holding hands. (Image shows a human figure placing his hands on hips)

Standing with hands placed on the hips can be an indication that a person is ready and in control, or it can also possibly be a sign of aggressiveness.TO BUY PHOTO:  shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets     25 Oct 2022  1 PM

4150. 2015 HAMSTER SURGERY VIDEO - How is the everted cheek pouch amputated by the vet. Viewer discretion is advised.

JULY 2015 CASE STUDY

Sticky food or large sharp seeds irritate the hamster who then pulls out the pouch. This surgical condition is known as everted cheek pouch.

This video shows how the hamster's everted cheek pouch is amputated under general anaesthesia at Toa Payoh Vets in July 2015.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn97zvcI7E8


THIS VIDEO SHOWS SURGICAL PROCEDURES
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

TREATMENT: 

1. Reduction. Push the cheek pouch back inside the cheek and hope it will not come out again.
 

2. Amputation of the big everted cheek pouch. Amputation or surgical excision of the everted cheek pouch is the better option as compared to pushing back the pouch.
