I spotted a Lantern Bug (P. Sultanus) but I did not attempt to get a shoot because its too high.

Trip to M.B
It was 3D2N visit to M.B. on 17-19 April 2015. It’s a dry season in Sabah since March 2015. I think this is one of the reasons we encountered less insects to photograph. I’m not saying that M.B got less bugs all the time. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a dry season since March. I informed that one of my friend encountered many insects here including a very rare species of Lantern bug. By the way, I also post other findings which is not related to insect here.
We went to M.B by our own transport. Two Landcruiser 80series and we drove from Kota Kinabalu to M.B.
A few finding for that very limited time to explore:
Some insect I missed to photograph but I managed to found it. Not my lucky yet, but friends of mine got the shot. Unfortunately I did not share it here.
I am very excited looking for rare Lantern Bugs but did not found it. Yes, not my lucky yet. The only one species discovered was a Pyrops Sultanus. Click Pyrops Sultanus to see how it looks like.
Cyrtodactylus baluensis
My macro trip to Ranau, Sabah.
End of year 2013 is around the corner, so I decide to have a macro trip. I had scheduled it before actually. Normally I will go alone. But fortunately there were two of my friends also on their trip for macro. They were on their trip two nights early before me but then heading to KK because of “technical error”. One of my friend forgot to bring his camera’s battery charger. Ouchhh…. Then I met them here in KK. So now it was no longer considered as “My lonely macro trip” as usual. So, following are some of the stories 😉 :
And then, we wait for the night coming for our night macro:
And then next morning:
