Thank you @BritishEcolSoc for hosting the wonderful #BES2024 🍀 I enjoyed learning from fellow speakers and engaging in thought-provoking discussions with other ecologists. It was also great to catch up with old friends and meet so many inspiring people 😄
Thank you @JoeWilliamsonDB for your guidance and support!
So grateful for the opportunity to share our project in #BESMacro2024 🦋
Excited to continue working on this project and for the results we will find~

Species: Rothschildia lebeau inca
Native regions: Central and South America

He’s not scared, just warming up his flight muscles! Moths “shiver” to warm up their flight muscles before taking off (Heinrich and Bartholomew, 1971), just like how we shiver when we feel cold.

Emerald Swallowtail #Butterfly 💚
Species: Papilio palinurus
Native regions: Southeast Asia
-
This species is loved for their iridescent green bands. Their scales refract light, resulting in reflection of blue and yellow light, which produces a green shine.
#nature#entomology
Species: Morpho helenor
Native region: Central and South America
Morpho butterflies grow from egg to pupae in approximately three months, spending only around 2 weeks as adults.

Death’s Head Hawkmoth 💀
Species: Acherontia atropos
Native regions: Africa, Europe
-
Despite their ominous name and skull pattern, these adorable fluffy moths make a cute squeaking sound! They were featured in #silenceofthelambs#nature#moth#ecology#lepidoptera#bug
Species: Hypolimnas bolina
Native regions: Asia, Oceania, Madagascar
Found in most tropical and subtropical habitats, these common eggfly butterflies are sexually dimorphic, where the males have bright white spots surrounded by violet iridescence and females are polymorphic.
True to their name, forest mother-of-pearl butterflies have a pearlescent sheen on their wings. They showcase a delightful spectrum of colours ranging from peachy oranges to vivid violets depending on their environmental conditions.
Monarch butterflies are not just a pretty sight. They carry out an epic migration journey across multiple generations, travelling between areas as far north as southern Canada and northern United States to overwinter in Mexico and southern United States every year 🌎
Jungle Nymph 🍃
Species: Heteropteryx dilatata
Native region: Malay Archipelago
-
When threatened, jungle nymphs flash their vibrant wings. They threaten by raising their abdomen and they can strike with their spine-covered hind legs.
Scarlet mormon swallowtail butterflies are native to Southeast Asia (Philippines) and are easily recognisable with bold red patterns against black wings, with subtle hints of shimmering blue. They have multiple morphologies with varying amounts of red and white markings.
The pupae of blue tiger butterflies are adorned with sparkly reflective accents, making them look like pieces of jewellery 💎 While the reason for this is uncertain, one theory is that is allows them to avoid predation by mimicking water droplets 💦
Timor Shield Mantis 🍂
Species: Rhombodera kirbyi
Native region: Timor, Indonesia
-
Mantids have one “ear” located on the underside of their body between their hind legs, just below the forewings. Mantids can hear ultrasonic frequencies above 20,000 Hz 🔊
