the beginning


What better way to start this blog than to feature the butterfly that catapulted me to to the realm of the lepidoptera? The honour goes to the Lime Butterfly, papilio demoleus. This most ubiquitous of Singapore's butterflies can be found in habitats as diverse as HDB flat corridor gardens and abandoned scrubland. In fact, anywhere where its equally common foodplant, citrus, grows. And common does not equal to drab at all; this butterfly is glorious, living proof of that.
