For this week's night macro photography, HW and I decided to go to the Island Club Road for a walk. Although it rained in the day time, the place was still relatively dry. Here's a photograph of a Stick Insect encountered at the place.
The first beetle was a 10 mm Fungus Beetle found a fallen tree.
It was after a while of walking that I came across another Fungus Beetle (Eumorphus tetraspilotus) resting on a leaf.
Some distance away was another fallen log where there were several large fungus mushrooms growing on it, and inside the mushrooms were several of this 3 mm Silken Fungus Beetle (Triplax rufipes).
The highlight for the trip was this first-time-encountered Ground Beetle (Chlaenius virgulifer). It was hyperactive and was crawling around the ground very quickly. Sadly I was not able to catch any good shot of the beetle.
On a small tree along the route was a 5 mm Darkling Beetle.
More walking without finding any critters and this interesting looking beetle larva found on a fallen log was a welcomed sight.
On the same log was this Rove Beetle which was a challenge to photograph with its non-stop movement across the log.
More walking before finding this 5 mm beetle (Martinezostes sp.) on a rotten standing tree.
Near to the Martinezostes sp. beetle was a 3 mm Darkling Beetle on a small tree.
The last beetle for the trip was a Long Horned Beetle (Epepeotes luscus) which happened to land on HW's flash diffuser.
Although the trip was not as fruitful as expected but finding the first-time-encountered Ground Beetle was worth the trip, albeit that I didn't manage to get a good shot of the beetle.
