    Last saturday trip was another bad trip ....for my car. The gravel road to the interior of Padawan is worst than my expectation. At least twice that I had to reverse my car to the foothill after my car stuck in the middle of a hilly road.....

    There are too many waterfalls in sothern Sarawak and it is impossible to visit all of them.

    A waterfall at sg sekuduk.

    As there is no rare species of flora/fauna found in those areas, the name of streams/rivers are published in my webpage/forum.







    A waterfall at sg umg.






    a waterfall at sg mabi.

    Gastromyzon ocellatus - water temperature at the site is 26.5 degree Celsius. Water PH is 7.











    Rasbora volzi fasciata.





    Shrimp. (Macrobrachium sp.)






    Cup fungus. (Cookeina sp.)

    I like the last picture, very unique composition.
    Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.

    i'm working on the weevil, but that family is SO HUGE!!! and sometimes if not often hard to identify. Actually i dont even know if this is a true weevil (Curculionidae)..
    is the antenna straight or elbowed?
