It has been a very long time since I last visited the Venus Trail. I decided to check out the trail on a sunny Saturday morning
There were quite a number of Bush Brown butterflies fluttering and perching at a grass patch. This particular shot which looks more like a Dark Brand Bush Brown (Mycalesis mineus macromalayana) was my first shot of the morning. I didn't notice the water droplet when I took the shot.
I noticed an orange skipper resting on a leaf surface from far. It was rather docile, allowing me to get a few shots. I think this is a Common Dartlet (Oriens gola pseudolus), a small but quite common in grassy area especially along the fringe of the forest.
Here is another shot from a different angle.
A beautiful snake with a fluorescent green body, this whip snake can be found in our forest.
This immature cricket was lazing around on a fallen tree trunk. Who would anticipate this few minute's rest in fact was so fatal for it. Shortly after this shot, I was stunned !!
Shortly after taking the shot, I witnessed with my own eyes how a robber fly grabbed the cricket and landed on a leaf.
After reaching the Ranger Station, I decided to turn back and headed for home. Quite a few Pretty pink bugs caught my attention - here is one of them, peeping the ground beneath it.
Along the Island Club road while I was on my way out, I noticed a Large Snow Flat (Tagiades gana gana) feeding on some Leea indica flowers. Though it didn't stay long on the flowers, I managed to snap a few shots.
