Alright!

The very very very long Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research photo essay is FINALLY UP!!!!

I should have put it up earlier of course, but there was an unexpected event on Friday, the computer belongs to my sister and her projects all weekend, and anyway I went to visit the HSBC Treetop walk and came back with 42 photos and a cold (ok seriously, I don’t know how I got the cold).

I don’t want to put up any more photos leh…. *hides*

The haze has been terrific lately. I think it’s from Thailand this time.

And the cold is turning into a fever now. Better go drink some water.

Ok, kill me. I really have no idea what to call these things. Therefore, I have given them the rather inappropriate name ‘Weird stuff’. Someone help me out here?

Peanut Worms. They look just like peanuts.

Very strange looking Anchor Worms.

Blue Lion’s Mane Jellyfish. It ain’t blue, but never mind.
Now I can tell why sea animals will swallow plastic bags by accident.

Gigantic Swamp Leech! In Singapore! AAAAAA!!!!!

Next up: NO MORE NEXT UP! THE END!!!

Ok, I admit there was a bit of a delay (a very long delay in fact) but everything in the world (42 projects and a 2500 word report – not mine of course ) seemed to be getting in the way of me posting up the last two batches of photos. Or perhaps it was just me procrastinating? Hee….

Atlas Moth. The biggest moth in the world. I have seen a live one before in the canteen of my primary school. At that time, I was still in primary school so me and my friends wanted to catch it and bring it to the science lab. Thankfully we didn’t, or the poor thing would probably have died from shock and our rough handling.

Pandan-kueh moth and Caramel Custard moth. The researcher who named these must be really hungry. Pandan-kueh is a green cake flavoured with pandan leaves.

Deaths Head Hawk Moth. For those who read ‘I’m the King of the Castle’ (the book I did for GCE O-level English Literature), here’s Hooper’s favourite moth! Mwahahaha.

Wasps and ants.

A colourful stink bug.

They even have mosquitoes on sticks!
