Time : 9.30am
Venue: Dense vegetation patch behind S2
We met Miss Lua at the museum and shown her the nets Dexiang made. Sad to say, she said that our nets are not useable for our research. It was very kind of Miss Lua to borrow 2 sweep nets from her colleague for us. We went on for our sweep netting behind S2(around 10.30am-after all the briefing). She explained why the nets Dexiang made wasn't suitable; it has got too big holes. We went on without Dexiang because he had his lecture. After sweeping till about 12pm, I went on to Miss Lua's office to sort out the insects and got 5 orders. So kind of her to let me use her place for work. I'm so touched!
The 5 orders were:
1. Hymenoptera(Bees & Ants)
2. Diptera(Flies)
3. Lepidoptera(Butterflies)-We've got 2 butterflies
4. Coleoptera(Beetles)
5. Arachnida(though not an insect but I'm quite amazed by it-It looks really pretty under the microscope with 8 eyes)
From Miss Lua's book on spiders, it's a Lynx spider from the family Oxyopidae.
This is roughly how it looks like.
Yup, it has got 'spikes' on it's legs. And the 6 eyes are nicely arranged in front.. A beauty!
