Recorded Width: 31mm Height: 12mm at Bukit Larut, Malaysia
A member of the Bombycidae family of moths, this specie of silkmoths has an inclination to stick its rear end up and bend it prominently. A cool snow white coat covers the wings and body, giving it a pure look only to be blemished with what looks like black hot cross buns at the centre of its forewings.
Its rear clearly up in this shot taken at Nest's front windows. Just behind there is a Perixera argyrommoides.
Latest capture by Chin Hock in Costa Rican rainforest. I wonder why this monkey needs a prehensile tail when it can swing without one.
Two 2m plus crocs came out to play today (22Feb'14). Easy to spot them from the main bridge of Sungei Buloh.
Find this photogenic shrike at the Plant Nursery at the Japanese Village.

It's been a wonderful Christmas 2013 with family all around; even better now with the sighting of this pair of adult Siamangs at the Botanical garden of the Japanese Village, Bukit Tinggi. |
