26/09 - Sungei Ulu Pandan (3 Oct 09)

At first it seemed that there were not many subjects as half of the group walked fast and reached the end of the site. Luckily, some participants concentrated, looked carefully in the bushes and found quite a few subjects just near the entrance to the path. We saw some grass hoppers (common grasshoppers -4 species, uncommon grasshoppers -3 species), plant hoppers, 3 species of katydids, 3 species of moths, 3 species of skippers, 4 species of spiders, 3 caterpillars, stick insect, fleshfly, dragonfly, etc. But the stars of that day were the long caterpillar and the weird looking monkey hoppers which allowed us to take close-up for hours. We ended at about 12 pm and enjoyed our lunch together at TradeHub21.
