Thomson Nature Park 22Aug20

From KH

Con, Danny and I went to Thomson Nature Park to look see.

It was nice to see this female Dark-tipped Forest Skimmer perched low. The male has two light blue bands at the abdominal base.


As well as this Spine-tufted Skimmer.


This Prodasineura damselfly was a bit further away.


Male Dark Archduke showing dark upper tip on antennae, as opposed to the Archduke which has orange upper tip.


This flatid planthopper nymph was crawling on the trail boldly, while this Rufous-legged Grasshopper was clinging on to a branch in camouflage.


An Epeus spider showed me its fangs, and this is a blur handphone shot of the foam nest of a spittlebug nymph.


The highlight today was this mating pair of Wagler's Pit Vipers. Much thanks to Fin who showed them to us.
