Another attempt to blog

I have made 2 previous attempts to start a blog but never made it through time. This is going to be the third attempt. Hopefully, the effort can be sustained.

Let me start with my recent stroll in the park near my place last Sunday evening. I actually moved to this place because of this park. Though it is small, it housed a tiny plot of forest, likely to be part of an old rubber plantation.

The usual bug that I will encounter each time, seen on the leaves of the Simpoh Air (Dillenia suffruticosa) plant is these shield bugs (Pycanum rubens).


Another bug which is also a common resident in the park is a type of leaf-footed bug. These are found among the Mile-a-minute climber (Mikania micrantha).


Likely due to after-rain and late evening effect, this orange skipper was rather calm while I took a few of its pictures.


A slender and long praying mantis was staring all the while at me while I snapped a few of its picture. It was standing tall on a bush of Dainty spurs (Rhinacanthus nasutus).


This yellow caterpillar was the last creature seen on my way back. It was munching away happily on the young leaves of the Brown-heart tree (Andira inermis).


And my first blog post is done!
