Spotted Tiger Beetle

Just share a photo taken recently in a nature park of a "Spotted Tiger Beetle" (Cicindela aurulenta). The non-spotted sp. of Tiger Beetle are the more common ones and usually, the bugs / macro photographers will find them. Pls see photo on the link: http://home.pacific.net.sg/~naturetrekkers/naturetrekker-wildlife1.html

Snake at Mandai

Sorry for the lousy image quality, taken with iPhone :-(

This little snake was only about 2.5 inches long. Definitely not a worm, moved like a snake, and could move very quickly when it wanted to.

Seen in "Orchidville".

Giant Snakehead at Lower Peirce

Spent 45 mins in Lower Pierce looking for snake but end up with a rewarding and surprise sighting. A full grown 1-metre or 3-foot long "Giant Snakehead" (Channa micropeltes) or some call it "Toman" came out of the water surface for air and my cam as usual always with me, took a quick snap (2 secs speed) before the giant fish went deep down into the main reservoir. Saw this species in Central Catchment deeper stream previously but never have a chance to shoot due to poor water visibility but not this time when the giant came up for fresh air.

Saw this Swallow-tailed Moth (Lyssa zampa) today at Woodlands. Sorry for the poor quality. Was taken with my handphone camera and through a glass panel. This is the 2nd largest moth that can be found in Singapore.
