A fish? lobster? id pls?

Ling Nightsky · 23rd February 2006

This is just bizzare.... it's eyes and mouth like a fish, legs like roaches, wings and tail like a bird... body shell looks like lobster.... omg, just what creature is this? anyone can id it? lol... oh, and i think it resembles a jet plane...

my guess is that it's a moth

That's a moth all right... looks similar to the Hummingbird Hawkmoths variety.

hmmmm, interesting.... has anyone seen them ard lately in singapore?

zac08 · 23rd February 2006

A rather interesting insect.

Where did you snap this?

Ling Nightsky · 23rd February 2006

at my block's staircase....

What a weird looking moth... as Papilio has mention, it do look like Hummingbird moth. Saw one at Tawian but never see one locally. Nice catch!

oh cool... so it's a rare sighting? still wondering what exactly it is...

Seems like the F117 plane is designed based on this insect.

I hold on to my belief that insects are alien invaders from outer space....

Ling Nightsky · 28th February 2006

It's at north of singapore.... it was at my block staircase... no pond, no reservoir at my house there....
It does looks like a stealth moth but from the internet images i've found so far, it still looks a lil different....hmm...

maybe phillip is right, haha :P

it's about 5-6cm perhaps....
