Happy to finally spot the Hieroglyphic Flat (Odina hieroglyphica) today, 2 August, 2020 at Upper Seletar Reservoir, Singapore. It was quietly resting at a sunlit spot on a forest path.
Despite appearances, this is a butterfly (a member of the skippers) and usually rests with its wings flat, showing off the distinctive, cryptic patterns on its wings.

#solarenergy A typical 100W solar panel, depending on location, produces about 200-400 Watt-hours of energy per day. That is around 14 kW-hours per year.
Is thermoelectric cooling better than a traditional compressor
☀️ good day for solar
I am in!
