I was having a bad stomach yesterday. I planned to go to Bukit Gasing but since I can only leave my house at around 5, I decided not to risk a big crowd there. So I went to a public park in Puchong, a place I used to frequent some time in 2006.
I didn't go to the park as often since I discovered Bukit Belacan. But since the construction in the park has spoilt the tranquility of the place, it is time to look for other places for spider hunt. My search brought me to many places within the Klang valley- Lembah Pangsun, Bukit Cerakah, Bukit Gasing, FRIM and Bukit Tabur. Although I found several interesting species there, still they lack the wow factor posses by my favourite hunting ground such as Bukit Belacan. There was no magical spot where you can just sit there for an hour and offload hundreds of frames. But yesterday, I experienced it again.
Well, it was not exactly by the hundreds but it might reach it if it were not due to the rain. The bush I scouted was abundant with several species of spiders- lynx, jumping and crab. There was also some hoverflies and mantis. Yet the biggest catch of all is to witness the mating of crab spiders in front of my eyes.
