My First Kubah National Park Trip In Sarawak


Nice capture, light look good when your flash fell off the ground:) Hope you are OK...your butt

Tks James, these r all taken before the fell. Butt is recovering but the 5cm dia bruise on my chest is still sore..... My cam body may need plaster and respray .... :bsmilie:
 

Hi SY, it's great to see you post your shots here. Always enjoy your artistic lighting effect. Very nice catch. Any muchroom shots? Must be nice if have.
 

Just a comment on the Trilobite beetle (Dulicota sp?). It is in the adult form already. It is very rare insect so good job finding it. Was it near to a stream? Like the lighting too.

Thks mphil for the comments and details on this beetle. Quite an interesting creature when we first saw it. Its not near any streams but most of them were found on fallen tree trunks.

Wow!!!!! no.9 is tok gong. Excellent color and composition.
 

Finally u post! haha.. #9 is my fav shot, excellent colours and compo!
We last found the trilobite beetle at the frog pond entrance. Maybe could be found in many spots of Kubah. hehe

We heard that Bako is tough to navigate and a better spot for other creatures like amphibians (heard from some Spanish biologists that we met).
 


Tks Lance, I didnt expect that fly to b in the frame as well. We were all concentrating on the orange wasp....
That weevil seems much longer than those I have seen locally...

Tks victor, that fly is a bonus as I didn't expect it to appear in the frame... We were all shooting the wasp... :)
 

wow.. this is excellent. Looks like you guys are boldly going to places no man has gone before. Very nice, wish I could join in the expedition.....

After John's posting, guess everyone r waiting to see all our pictures. U mean there r few of these trilobite beetles when your group r there?? Frankly, we saw these quite often & all of us can have 1 each to ourselves to shoot. Don't hv to go all the way to frog pond.

John is gathering more details on bako but heard it's also another tough place .... Hehe

Heh.. only found one la, we just happened to pass by frog pond and Melvyn saw it there.

Yeah, need to take a boat which we heard doesn't keep the passengers dry. lol

Think there should be trails there that are not as siong. Worth trying. :) Our groupie have not decided on the location of our shoot next year though!
