There was a drizzle rain at early morning but fortunately, it stopped one hour later when we were moving to our gathering point. The results for the trip were very good. Shooting subjects may not be so abundance as in many other macro sites, but with a great deal of varieties, especially for some species that occurs only in forested area such as the blue wing damselfly Vestalis Amethystina (by Lester & Allan), rare butterflies - Five Bar Sword Tail Puddling (By lester), and Blue Jay Puddling (By Lester), unknown black-ringed yellow caterpillar (by Allan) and juvenile Red Bug (by CYX),Red Beetle (CYX) etc ..

There were also a good number of spiders, few jumping spiders, lichen spider (CYX), Golden Web Spider(Tony, CYX), Twig-like feather-legged spiders (Hazel), lyn spiders (Teck Nam), etc. Wei Luen has even shot a snake. Some of us left early, and all were happy with the trip.

We ended our trip at about 12:30pm and went to have lunch together. It turned to a heavy downpour after we finished our lunch. Great timing for our trip!!! Rifle Range Trail appears to be a good macro site for further exploration of forest species.
