The following day, I found someone who can drive his 4WD vehicle to bring me to visit some places I failed to visit before due to the worst road condition in a remote country road of south eastern part of Batang Sadong basin, more on this link:

The tunnel to the "hell"!!! The white band (beneath the peristome) of this species is actually the short & dense white hairs that are fed by some species of termites. This subterranean tunnel built by the termites is leading a big amount of termites dropped into the pitcher & drown to dead.
I pour out the fluid of the pitcher of Nepenthes albomarginata into my hand and found out a lot of dead termites.
First time found Nepenthes hirsuta growing on a tree trunk !!! Amazing !!!
Stick insect. (Phasmid)

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Thanks Choy. I just edited something....that halfbeak is probably D. collettei (not 100% confirm).Originally Posted by hwchoy
And those Channa are C. lucius or some of them probably C. bankanensis, not melasoma.

All adult got wings??? I don't know much about stick insects eventhough I bought that pocket guide "Phasmids of Peninsular M'sia & S'pore".Originally Posted by ranmasatome

Well...thats one of the base charactristics of adult insects as a whole.. they are winged or have traces of being winged.. looks like there isnt even a little nub of wing on this guy.. so thats why i guess juvy...plus its a tad small no?
I think should be juvenile.....
