“H..E…L….L…..L……O……. There, Everybody.
It is time for Project Macrolumbus again!
Calling ….. All Brave men! and All Brave women of IMOG!
YES! WE WANT YOU!
Come! Join us! In another exploration trip in mainland Singapore! “
... that was how the invitation started off to all members, at the middle of the week. Later on, Saturday morning, 13 people decided to go on a journey to seek out beautiful macro photos at a new site in Thanggam. The outing started at about 7.45am, Darren and Xiong ge came a little late. At the beginning of the path, I saw Carlo, Ravi, Eugene, and Darren were busy with their found subjects.
There were so many butterflies and insects under the shade of some tall trees! Lime butterfly, common mormon, psyche, common grass yellow, striped albatross, common evening brown, some 4 species of skippers, lesser grass blue, monkey hopper, assassin bugs, mating cotton stainers, mating flies, dragonflies, and some moths.
Moving in further, at the Elephant Grass and Morning Glory path I found Anthony, CP, Joshua, Allan, Xiong ge, Mr. Ong, Sharon, and Stewart were happy taking pictures of some beautiful wild flowers, caterpillars, spiders, dragonflies, and some other insects. So, I joined in the fun to photograph some blooms.
Hours passed, next, we went through a thick patch of tall elephant grasses to get to the forested area.
Going into the forest, our Allan led the way of the exploration team. Not long after, we spotted quite a numbers of creatures : millipedes, dried leaf mimicking katydid, spiders, asian toad, and a lot of beautiful fungi!
A few more interesting subjects found in the forest :
All of us had a wonderful time searching and taking photographs. What a nice place! We had only explored 40% of the entire area. We will definitely come again in future.
At about 12pm the trip leader showed participants the way out of the forest and walked to the main road. Soon, most of us were having lunch at the famous Jalan Kayu Prata Restaurant and some were having delicious prawn noodles.
Participants (13) : Endy Tan (Trip Leader), Allan Lee, Anthony Quek, Cai Yixiong, Carlo Caparas, Chan Choon Phiow, Darren Chng, Eugene Hu, Joshua Fong, Ong Lim Sim, Ravi Srinivasan, Sharon S. Lim, Stewart Ong
