Afternoon Walk At Windsor Nature Park (08 Mar 2020)

I was feeling under-the-weather for a good part of the week and so when I have fully recovered, I decided to go for a walk at the Windsor Nature Park, despite the hot weather and afternoon time. From my past experience, hot weather will see a drastic drop in the number of beetles encountered, let alone in the afternoon time. Nevertheless I decided to proceed with the plan in order to ease the itch of my trigger finger, albeit that my expectation of finding beetles was not very high.

Here's a photograph of an interesting looking jumping spider encountered at the place.
