Walk at Woodland Town Garden

Did a short walk at the Woodland Town Garden this afternoon. The first creature spotted near the entrance of the park was this lone caterpillar hidden under a leaf of the Ganges Primrose. It should be a Autumn Leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide) caterpillar.


Such orange skipper was rather common in parks.


At lease two of these skippers were seen chasing each other among the ground cover weeds. One eventually settled down after a short while. This might be the Chestnut Bob (Iambrix salsala salsala).


There was this tiny lady bug staying rather still on the leaf of a Orange Jasmine.


This wired-looking, tiny insect was actually a leaf hopper.


A battled grasshopper had lost a hind leg and part of the wing. Life must be tough on the wild side.


I spent quite a while trying to take this photo of a hovering carpenter bee. It kept flying around but return to hover on the same spot for quite a number of times. This was the best shot that I got though it still looked blurry.


Another battered insect, a Great Eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina bolina), seen on the Sea Hibiscus. It seemed to have only two of the legs left besides the tattered wings.


It was a warm afternoon despite the cloudy weather. I decided to head back home after slightly more than an hour of probing around.
