Bug fair 2024 at the Natural History Museum was a blast! Here’s some specimens and pets I got. I forgot to take photos and only took videos, so these are stills from a video—sorry for the poor quality!

[histsciart]

Lepidopterans from the Edinburgh Journal of Natural History and of the Physical Sciences, Vol. 1 (1835-1839).

"Lepidopterans" includes both moths and butterflies. The moth in the bottom middle is the lovely Madagascan sunset moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus), which was once classified as a butterfly. The butterfly in the middle is the male common green birdwing (Ornithoptera priamus). This species exhibits sexual dimorphism in which the female is larger than the male and has brown and white coloring.

The Iconic Birdwing

A female Ornithoptera euphorion or Cairns Birdwing busy doing all it can in its short 4-week life. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

This was captured in the local zoo here with the telephoto end of the little Leica lens on the Lumix FZ200 back in 2015. Two stops of underexposure were applied to expose for the highlights.
