  Two Common Bluebottles (Graphium sarpedon) spotted at Rifle Range Nature Park, Singapore on 29 June 2025. Getting shots of one these fast moving butterflies can be a challenge, so it was good to be able to get two in one shot.

  A Palm Bob (Suastus gremius) spotted at Bukit Gombak Park, Singapore on 26 July 2025. A common skipper. And it requires patience to slowly approach to get this shot without it flying off.

  A Sphinx Moth, maybe Meganoton nyctiphanes, spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 22 June 2025. I almost didn't see this large moth, camouflaged high up on the tree trunk.

  Callidula sumatrensis spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 27 April 2025. Despite appearances, this is a moth, not a butterfly, and one that is seldom seen.

  A Tailless Lineblue (Prosotas dubiosa) spotted at Bukit Gombak Park on 3 May 2025. A small butterfly with a feature that distinguishes it from other similar looking Lineblues: it does not have tails at the hind end of the wings.

  A Bronze Flutterer (Rhyothemis obsolescens) spotted at MacRitchie Reservoir Park on 24 May 2026. An uncommon dragonfly with eye-catching bronze coloured wings.

  A Burmese Sailor (Neptis leucoporos) spotted at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Singapore on 24 May 2026. A common butterfly, but usually skittish, so not easy to get a nice shot. There are several species of Sailor butterflies here, making field IDs challenging. So it is usually shoot first, ID later.

  A Golden-armed Mantis (Hierodula venosa) spotted at Pasir Ris Park, Singapore on 4 May 2025. A lucky find, as I was idly walking past this tree in the car park when I saw it. This large mantis was the size of a human hand. On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/278315953 ]. #iNaturalist #Nature #Photography #SIngapore #Insects #Mantis #Mantodea

  A Blue-throated Bee-Eater (Merops viridis) with dragonfly prey, shot at Hampstead Wetlands Park, Singapore on 27 May 2026. Not the best of shots, but I'm happy to be able to get it as it swooped over the wetlands.

  A Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) resting near the main bridge at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 10 May 2026. The first two shots shows how much of the crocodile was underwater. It later swam away. Crocodiles are common at this nature reserve and observed with caution.

  In celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday, I went back in time to the first observation I posted to iNaturalist. This is a genus Choreutis moth spotted at Coney Island, Singapore on 18 Dec 2015. I avidly watched Sir David's documentaries since young. Now, I can follow in his footsteps, observe and document nature and, once in a while, whisper, "Here we are …". 🙂 On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/2487624 ]. #iNaturalist...

  A Planthopper, genus Kallitaxila, spotted at Bukit Gombak Park. Singapore on 26 April 2025. It was early in the morning, so it was still covered in dew.

  The cocoon of a genus Cyana moth spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park, Singapore on 20 April 2025. The cocoon is protected by a 'cage' made from the spines of the caterpillar itself that it weaved together. Amazing architecture.

  A Fluffy Tit (Zeltus amasa) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 26 April 2026. The eyespots and tails at the end of the hindwing act to distract predators from striking at the head, allowing it to escape.

  A Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) spotted at Windsor Nature Park, Singapore on 12 April 2026. An active fellow, it started grooming itself, then turned to gaze curiously at the humans taking photos of it. 🙂 Colugos can glide huge distances between trees using a gliding membrane, (patagium) that stretches between their limbs.
