18:55 Spider Hunt at Central Nature Reserve #1: This evening we are
going to help Joseph Koh look for spiders. Joseph is undertaking a
project to further study the spiders of Singapore. Here is Dr Chua
Ee Kiam (left) and Joseph Koh (right) fixing up their toys to take
pictures of our spiders... |

18/08/04 19:08 Spider Hunt at Central Nature Reserve #2: Our forests
are particularly lovely at sunset. As the light dims, the orchestra
of crickets and little frogs start up, stars emerge and the air cools...

:-) |

20:43 Spider Hunt at Central Nature Reserve #5:
An hour later and we're still at it. We spotted and documented many
spiders as well as other beauties of the night. My photos will be
uploaded tomorrow. Today has been a very very long long day and I
REALLY need to get some sleep :-)

been a dawn to dusk day for you. Any friendly traffic wardens
at your second site?
Posted by voyager Posted on 19/08/04 00:40 Heh.... No
traffic wardens at Site 2. But then... We used an alternate
transport to get there. So. Even if we were to get into trouble,
it won't be Ria in trouble! :P

No wheel clamps and other scary things at this site :-) |

21:59 Spider Hunt at Central Nature Reserve #6 (last): Finally, we
reach the end of the trail and head for home. Just then, Dr Chua spots
a wonderful scorpion. I love these dangerously beautiful creatures.
But like all natural creatures, if left alone and admired respectfully
they are perfectly harmless. |
