It was a good started the moment I stepped into the park seeing this blue damselfly grabbing a prey that looked like a fly.
Tiny caterpillars like this one can be found leaves and branches of the Rangoon Creeper.They are a rather abundant this time round though you still needed to search for them due to their size. They should be moth caterpillars.
This is not a bee but a flower fly or hover fly. The flower it was attending to is from a creeper (Melothria pendula) that bear small cucumber-like fruits.
The only Golden Orb Web Spider (Nephila maculata) seen this time round although it is a rather common spider here.
There was a tiny orange-coloured spider on the same web that I suspect may be the male spider. Obviously, this picture was enlarged many times.
A lone light green caterpillar found on a leaf stalk of a Elephant's Ear plant. From its appearance, its parent is probably a Hawkmoth.
The sound from the movement on dried leaves had led me to this Common Sun Skink.
A katydid taking its position on a leaf of the Common Yellow Stem Fig tree.
This wired looking creature is actually a grasshopper called Monkey hopper.
As a grand closing of this trip, I got to see this colourful and spiky looking caterpillar on a leaf of the Ilex cymosa. I chanced upon it while I was attempting to get some good pictures of this plant. It should be the 5th instar stage of the Studded Sergeant (Athyma asura idita).
There were more creatures seen and much more photos taken which I probably can go for another post. But I think two posts from a trip are enough for now and I will keep the rest of the pictures for another time.
