| Pelopidas assamensis |
This medium-sized Hesperiidae was recently discovered in Singapore in the
Mandai area. Subsequently, its caterpillar was also discovered, feeding
on a host plant (Bamboo) within the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Observations
of this species were mainly in forested areas. The Skipper is larger
than most of the other species bearing almost similar spots on the wings,
and is therefore quite distinct when seen in the wild. |
