PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - Use tripod
Hubner’s wasp moth sips nectar
Yio
Chu Kang Cres forest, 8 AM, 8 Oct 2022. Bright daylight.
Canon R5,
Tripod is needed to give sharp image.
AV Mode, ISO 200. F/8-11.
Lens at 105MM. Take over 10 images.
Too many mosquitoes bite the
photographer.
This moth was absent
for over a year as contractors cut and prune plants and trees and
apply insecticide fogging degrading the habitat and depriving the
moth of flowers. During the 2020 – 2022 period of the Covid-19
pandemic, the Bidens pilosa flowers were abundant, but now, there are
a handful of stunted ones.
The weather got hotter.
Yesterday, I saw this sole moth but did not get a sharp image.

A
Hubner’s wasp moth sips nectar from a Bidens pilosa flower in the Yio
Chu Kang Cres forest, 8 AM, 8 Oct 2022. Only a handful of poor quality
Bidens pilosa exist nowadays, hence this moth will be extinct in the
near future.

Swimming lopsided is a sign of a respiratory infection. It happens because the lungs fill with fluid, making normal swimming difficult. One lung often has more fluid than the other, leading to lopsided swimming. The amount of fluid can change from day to day, Resulting in different degrees of problems.
Bubbles from the nose and mouth and open mouth breathing are further signs of respiratory infection. The mucus you found was most likely from his nose or mouth, too. Appetite loss often occurs as a respiratory infection progresses. You may also see frequent yawning, stretching the neck upward, lack of energy, refusing to leave the basking area, or conversely, trying to hide in the water.
Respiratory infections in turtles are not the same as colds in humans. In turtles, they are bacterial, not viral. They don’t get better on their own, but usually progress to life threatening pneumonia. This is one of the most common causes of death in young turtles.
When temperatures are not optimal, it sometimes helps a bit to increase them, but that doesn’t result in a cure, Your temps are perfect. There isn’t anything you can do on your own. See by a reptile vet. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, treatment usually involves prescription antibiotics, such as Baytril, being given by injection or orally.

HOOK
This 13-year-old much loved by the young man who bought him as a puppy in Perth Australia. The dog is walked every morning for around an hour, but today, he just would not want to go out. He was very lethargic and laid down on his side, under the dining table as if he was "dying".
USE some 2-minute footage of the video below as hook.
He goes for morning walks of half an hour daily for the past few months. However, on Nov 17, 2019, he was lethargic and recumbent under the dining table. He was OK yesterday after the walk.Nov 27, 2019.
Gatsby's blood tests showed slight anaemia and elevated liver enzymes. No bacteraemia and no fever. Monocytosis. Thrombocytosis.
Liver disorder - ALT enzymes are above normal. X-rays show slight enlargement of the liver. Edges of liver are still sharp, not rounded as in severe liver disorder. |
Total red cell count is low. Haemoglobin is on the low side of the range. Mild anaemia is present in Gatsby |
Heart is not enlarged. Retching usually in the morning could be due to clearing of the throat or lungs of mucus. Nothing was vomited out. |
No tumours or inflammation in the lungs |
Liver is enlarged. Liver enzymes are elevated. |
The heart is much enlarged |
Fluid due to heart failure is present in the lungs. Hence the lungs are black as in a normal dog (see Gatsby's normal lungs). |
