Adventures - Sabah, East Malaysia (#2 - Kinabalu National Park)

Not much time to write a detailed post about the fauna at Kinabalu National Park, did both day and night walks, so got to observe diurnal and nocturnal fauna.

The place is rich in stick insects, and amphibians. There were Orthoptera, Coleoptera present.
Did not spot any Odonata. There were rather few ants and bees, not as species rich as the lowland forests.

It was rather dry despite the monsoon season. The mosses were not wet.
Many of the orchids were not in bloom, esp. at the Botanic Gardens, unlike the previous time when I visited in June.




Some of my best photos; will elaborate further another time.
