Night visitor on ceiling mossie
Mosquito with seemingly gold or yellow black and white patterns on body and wings.
Culicidae (Mosquitoes)
Aedeomyia catasticta
This species is zoophilic, meaning they have a preference for non-human animals.
Give off the same vibes like the one spotted last year but this is at HDB setting. It's not interested in humans and fly off when I approach it

描述
This is a very distinctive and uncommon Mangifera species characterised by its narrowly lanceolate and subsessile leaves when young, hence the epithet 'subsessilifolia'. It was first collected from the type locality, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in 1987 and only formally described by Dr André Kostermans, an expert in mangoes, in 1993.

Butterfly caterpillar
Plain Plushblue
(Flos apidanus saturatus)
Thanks Han Peng for ID
Thanks Edna and Eehean for spotting it.

It has two side-branches reaching the tentacular organs (TOs) on the 8th abdominal segment.
The caterpillar has a functional DNO (dorsal nectary organ) as ants living in its proximity are observed to actively attend to the caterpillars, having been attracted to the nectary fluid excreted via the DNO.
The DNO is now rather prominent with an dark brown oval ring marking its outer boundary.
