Caught sight of this Malayan Flying Lemur hanging on the tree trunk. He was waiting for night fall when he would spring into action feeding on leaves, young shoots, flower buds and sap. This fella is not design to fly, can only glide from tree to tree, maybe to impress his mate :)

This Grasshopper has got eyes that look like candy.

This Honey Bee was collecting nectar.

This orange guy likes to pose :)
Dunno what insect is this, kind of small.. just about over 2cm in length.

Came close to a Green Crested Lizard at Lower Peirce. It was really green. As for the Slender Squirrel at Sime Forest, it was not so easy to shoot as it was hiding in the trees.
