Alexandra Hospital is close to where I live. Maybe 1/month, I walk over with my tripod and camera and my curious eyes and look. The AH folks have built a wonderful garden with apparently well selected plants and structures (platforms) designed to encourage butterfly / caterpillar production. This morning several of us from the Flickr group, Macro Maniacs of Singapore, met and shared ideas and what we located. My first find was a wet grasshopper
and a not so sharply focused flower
A colorful butterfly (I need to learn to properly identify them)
The deep color with rain drops create an interesting effect.
Another unidentified butterfly
Different presentation
Harvesting nectar
Moth or Butterfly?
An almost caterpillar
What a lovely something
Here was a jumping spider hiding in a heliconia
looking at me
A green caterpillar carrying a small rain drop
Having a bit of lunch
Interesting orange spots
Another something hanging from a stem
A spider carrying a green insect
Another view of the spider - on her way home with dinner
This interesting spider looks almost like the leaf. You can see the 1st and 2nd pair of legs hanging down
A hairy caterpillar
I've not seen a spider like this before
Here is the lower one
A very close look
Another look
A brown caterpillar
looking at me
Upside down
The hairy caterpillar
Slowly walking around
Its face
Climbing over a leaf carrying a rain drop
Curled
Come back another time. The Alexandra Hospital Butterfly Trail is never the same.
