Biodiversity Survey, Western Singapore, 14 August 2007

Western Catchment is the area at the western part of Singapore. It's one of our major terestrial sites for biodiversity survey. We did a bird count at the early moning, survey dragonfly and spider at afternoon, almost finished at 8pm. Here posted are some photos taken by my Nikon camera and the 70-300 zoom lens.


This was taken after a drizzle rain at the early morning.


Trithemis pallidinervis, an uncommon species dragonfly in Singapore


Oxyopes birmaniscus, a common lnyx spider.


Jumping spider Phintella vittata, a common species.


Crab spider, Boliscus tuberculata, not so easy to find in Singapore
