When I was younger,used to see the black colour version of this insect.The wings are the size of your palms,if it flies past you,it's like a bird...Sure looks scary.Can you imagine how it feels if you wake up in the middle of the night and realise that one of these creatures is perched comfortably on your ceiling -
this one?

Dunno eh.Originally posted by weidev:veri beautiful insect... don think can find in singapore right?
Hey, do we have nocturnal birds in Singapore? Since young, I've always seen black shadows chasing around the trees outside my home and going *flap flap flap*. I first thought they were bats, but I think they might be just some nocturnal birds. But they always keep flying around and chasing each other around! What are they?

No not owls.. Owls don't fly around THAT much. Those birds, or bats, I don't know, they keep flying around alot and hardly settle down in the trees.Originally posted by weidev:owl? saw one at my grandma's old hse b4... -

*runs away* -
but they're harmless... the brown one is found in south east asia and it's the giant Atlas Moth
the other green one is, i think, a Luna Moth or something -

they fly super fast with super fast direction change.. birds usually fly straight..

Speaking about cementaries,I had seen a number of oversized creatures thereOriginally posted by MooKu:butterflies too? i've heard of stories of butterflies appearing around graves and coffins.. or were they moths?

whenever I went for annual Qing Ming rituals as a kid.I saw a palm sized grasshopper and a foot long centipede before.
That sure was a bit unnerving. -
scientifically, because cemetaries are not "high activity areas", these creatures get to grow really big as there aren't people to disturb them..Originally posted by Doenitz:Speaking about cementaries,I had seen a number of oversized creatures there
