27/10 - Choa Chu Kang Ave 5 (11 Dec 2010)

At the junction of the Brickland Road and Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3, near the Hai Inn Temple, there is a drainage Canal surrounded by a pathch of forest. This patch of forest has been the playground for many of the great macro photographers like Rey Aguila, Darren Chng, etc., from NPSS in the old day. As more of the macro sites in elsewhere been discovered, this old playground has getting less attention in recent years. We had our last outing of the year on 11 December. The weather condition was very nice as it was rain before the dawn and turn to overcast  after 7:30am and lasted for the whole morning.

Ming and Choon were concentrating on ??

Number of subject are not so abundant as before, but we still found quite a variety of them to keep us busy for the whole morning, e.g. an uncommon Neoscona spider, beautiful tortoise beetle, stingbug, american giant snail, dragonflies, and butterflies etc...
