It has been a while that I did any morning macro session, so I decided to go to Dairy Farm Nature Park for a round of macro photography.
It was once again durian season and the durian trees at the place were fruiting in large number.
The first beetle for the trip were several of this Fungus Beetle (Episcapha xanthopustulata) found on a fallen tree.
It was only walking for a while on the Wallace Trail before I came across this 10 mm Soldier Beetle (Crudosilis ruficoltis) resting on a leaf.
On a small tree near by were several of this 1 mm first-time-encountered Darkling Beetles.
On another tree were several of this commonly encountered 1 mm Darkling Beetle.
Just before reaching the Education Centre, this 5 mm first-time-encountered Leaf Beetle was found on a low bush.
After passing the Education Centre, this 8 mm Weevil Beetle was found resting on a leaf next to the track.
Near to the Weevil Beetle was a Leaf Beetle (Lema diversa).
A stone's throw away was a lovely Fungus Beetle (Stenotarsus pardalis) which I have not encountered for a while.
Moving to another part of the Wallace Trail, I was surprised to find a number of this commonly encountered Tiger Beetle (Cicindela aurulenta) flying around the trail.
Just after photographing the Tiger Beetle, the sky started to rain. Just then I found this 8 mm Fungus Weevil hiding underside of a log.
The last "beetle" of the trip was a larvae on a small tree.
The trip was not exceptionally good as the number of beetles encountered, nevertheless it is still a fruitful one with 2 first-time-encountered beetles.
