Brunei Photo Finish

Part Two: Some pictures.

*WARNING frustration follows*
Question: What happens when you discover that the paper your supervisor thought you would get out of your literature review (due date = soon) has been done already, less than 5 years ago, and all your research question have actually been answered or disregarded?

Answer: You're well and truly F^&%#%ed, so you waste some time blogging!
*frustration ends*

So here are those pics from Brunei. Mostly critters again, very few peeps:

From Badas Peat Swamp:

Random spider. Why the thick strip across the web? Reinforcing?

Unusual galls on unidentified broadleaf.

From Regenerating Karangas Forest, after burning:

Close-up of ant housing inside Mrymecodia stem. Ants bring soil into spaces, plant grows  roots internally! Anyone wanting to hear a dodgy story about this piece of plant, feel free to mail me.

From Kuala Belalong, Mixed Dipterocarp Forest:

Tiny wasp house? About 1 cm tall.

Beautiful dehisced seed pod

Unidentified assassin bug, with sticky forelegs. Later we found some more under tree bark, covered in sap, feasting on ants

More assassin bugs, their privacy invaded.

The Canopy Walkway, starring 김문일

From Selirong Forest:

Of those I saw, this was the harshest environment.

From Water Village:

Demolition/Construction

No Swimming

Garden 1. Platycerium (?)

Garden 2. Sometimes you just need green and growing things around...

Good times, good times.
