After getting off the bridge and moving further down the slope along the boardwalk, I spotted a juvenile Wagler's Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri). This snake is supposed to be rather common in our forest though this is the first time that I had a chance to look at a real one. It seemed to be asleep as it did not make any movement while I was snapping its picture at reasonably close range with my camera. Of course, I was careful not to get too close as the creature did look threatening enough.

As I move along the more levelled part of the boardwalk, an interesting dragonfly resting on the leaf caught my attention. Its features were somewhere between a dragonfly and a damselfly --- the wings folded up vertically while a rest and they are much larger than that of a damselfly. It did take off a few times while I tried to get some photo shots. Luckily, it always returned to some spots nearby, thus allowing me to take quite a few shots. It is likely to be Vestalis amethystina.

There were quite a number of dragonflies near a stream area. However, only one of them came close enough for me to take some photos. It happened to be one that I had not seen previously, with alternating dark and light brown colouration along its tail. It should be a female Treehugger (Tyriobapta torrida).

It was a good harvest for butterfly pictures mainly because today was a weekday where human traffic was very light. The following were the butterflies that I managed to snap some pictures and I was glad that I could identify all of them.

From left to right: Branded Imperial Butterfly (Eooxylides tharis distanti), Common Four Ring (Ypthima huebneri), Dark Brand Bush Brown (Mycalesis mineus macromalayana), The Knight (Lebadea martha parkeri), and Common Faun (Faunis canens arcesilas).

The only caterpillar that I managed to find was a small nettle caterpillar discovered on the underside of a leaf from an unknown plant.

Finally, on the way out toward the Ranger Station after completing the boardwalk trail, I chanced upon a climber that has Singapore as part of the name, Adenia macrophylla var. singaporeana. The most exciting part was that this liana was fruiting, with the bright red fruits hanging along the stem. It belongs to the Passion Flower family.

There were a number of unknown plants seen but most did not have flowers or fruits on them, making identification a challenge. As usual, insects and spiders were spotted and some pictures were displayed in the photo gallery below.

It was wonderful to be back on the tree-top bridge after 2 years!
