20/10 - Tagore Forest (4 Sep 2010)

This new macro site is a forested areas along Tagore Drive.  There are quite a no. of durian trees and the path that connects from the main road to this large piece of deserted land is probably created by nearby residents who came here during the durian picking seasons! 


Common subjects spotted include catepillars, spiders, dragonflies, praying mantis, hoppers, etc.  We were also fortunate to capture some uncommon insects such as a female Striped Albatross butterfly, a Gynacantha Subinterrupta dragonfly but the catch of the day had to be the "Squirrel Mantis" spotted by Allan where most of us took turn to have a shot at it.
