Friday walk, a miserable little amount of insects as usual during the dry season months. At one point I started taking photos of palms and barking deer scat.
A suspiciously thick, chalcdid-like fly. A orb-weaving spider with an engorged, white abdomen and black marks. On her web is covered with insect wings and bodies. A black wasp like fly-like, slanted eyes. Its face is covered in a metallic gold. A black butterfly with thick orange stripes on the middle of its forwings and the apex of its hindwings.

A common yet stunning autumn resident, the Paris peacock swallowtail is one of my favourite butterflies locally. They are most common during times of shifting monsoons here (October-November, February-April).

A swallowtail butterfly with vibrant green dots all over its body, making it appear dark greens. There is a lateral line of larger, light green dots on its forwings. Under its forewings hides a vibrant blue patch on the side of its wings, and a smaller red eyespot where the two underwings meet. The underwing ends with knob-shaped tail. It is puddling in a very shallow puddle covered in dead grass and fallen sticks.

Passionflower vines are native plants that have beautiful flowers, and are the food for the striking Gulf Fritillary caterpillars that grow up to be gorgeous butterflies. Who gives out the awards for Best Looking Plant/Caterpillar/Butterfly Combination? I’d like to make a nomination.
An orange caterpillar with rows of black branching spikes from head to posterior is seen in profile, sitting atop a green vine half the width of the caterpillar. Out of focus you can make out leaves that have been chewed up by the caterpillar A velvety orange butterfly has delicate black marking and three small silver spots on the forwings. The body is also a soft orange, with silvery silvery spots in the anterior thorax and head.

This cold has wiped me out but I managed to take a walk and came across a Horace's Duskywing (Erynnis horatius) sipping from rainwater that seeped into a section of broken sidewalk a few blocks from my house.
Looking down on a butterfly with dark brown wings spread to the side. It appears velvety sold, with flecks of white on the lateral forwings. There is a hint of blue in the back curves of the hind wings. It is sitting on dirty bricks.

More butterflies from this morning (2 of 2).
Blue morpho resting on a leaf, wings together so the brown spotted underside is visible. Blue morpho with the wings spread, resting on my hand. Everyone loves the iridescent flash of blue on the upper surface of the wings but they don't usually sit with their wings open. The borders of teh wings are black, with blurry lighter spots along the edges of the wings. White peacock butterfly resting in the sunlight on a bright orange flower. Clipper butterfly resting on an orange flower against green vegetation. The color pattern on these is so complex, with the brilliant white patches bordered by black veins on the forwings, blurry black and blue-green streaks extending along the length of the hindwings, and the black and aqua stripes extending across the butterfly body and into both forewings. Most butterflies just have plain dark bodies so seeing a clear pattern is striking.

Even got some nice photos so a good morning.
Longwing butterfly resting on green leaves with itswings spread as it basks in the sun. The hindwings have red rays spreading across a black background like a drawing of a sunset by a child, and the forwings are black with red patches close to the butterfly body and a wide white bar near the tip. Hecale longwing butterfly resting on a green leaf, shown from the side so the wing underside is visible. The wings are mostly orange, with a black border with white spots on the hindwing and a large black patch near the tip of the forewing. The compound eyes and curled proboscis are clearly visible, as well as the four visible legs (since this is a brush footed butterfly the first two legs are greatly reduced). Emerald green swallowtail resting, wings spread, on a person's hand. The background color of the wings as well as the body looks like a black ground sprinkled liberally with bright green glitter, and each wing has a wide neon green bar across it. Sara longwing butterfly resting on a bright orange flower. Orange and yellow blooms are visible against a green leafy background. The butterfly has deep blue wings, almost black (the metallic blue sheen is only visible when the sunlight hits the wings) with a narrow white border on the hindwings and a very wide white bar near the tip of each forewing.
