Lyssa zampa at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve this morning

The Biology Refugia went for a walk today with some visitors from out of town and lo and behold, a Lyssa zampa appeared on cue after we told the story. Photo courtesy of Lim Cheng Puay (the young ‘un).

The hunt for Lyssa zampa

2009 seems to have been a decent year for the tropical swallowtail moth, Lyssa zampa, with 8 records submitted by various people. Some posted their comments to this blog and sent me photos.

This year, I suddenly received two records over the past two days. It’s already June (the moth has appeared mostly in May in 2005 and 2009) but I thought I’d see what I can gather. So I have posted a note in Habitatnews, “Lyssa zampa, the tropical swallowtail moth, returns.”

Help me look, thanks!
