We had a successful 3rd night macro outing in Venus Drive with 16 macro enthusiast attended. The weather was fine except that the initial part of the ground was a little damp and wet due to the previous days of rain. Other than that, most of us enjoyed the outing. It was also a good experience for those first timers in night macro.
We saw many lynx spiders, very common in the day and yet they are also quite active at night. Sac spider, some sort of garden spider spinning its web, St. Andrew Cross spiders, Cyrtarachne Bufo spider, many bull frogs that stayed in the open, middle of track, preying on insects. A few brown-coloured praying mantis, many snails, hoppers and sleeping dragonflies.
The stars of the night were the Stick Insect, Scorpion and the Bioluminescence Fungus. We spent about 3.5 hrs in the dark trail and left before 11.00 pm.
