We saw different types of flora and fauna in Kubah National Park, Kuching Malaysia.  They are the greatest natural elements that adds beauty and uniqueness to the jungle.  We seldom see these things around us in a city, not because these things do not exist around us, but we might have removed them from us due to development.

If you know the name of this flower, tell me please.

Is this a spotless ladybird or a beetle?  According to Wikipedia, ladybird has short antenna, but this bug has a long antenna.

Can I call them tropical blueberries?  I am not sure about its name and not sure they are edible.  They looked lovely.

This is another type of fruits grown on the trunk of the tree with attractive light orange colour and strange shape.

We saw beehives in the jungle.  The hives’ shape is like a pipe instead a round shape.

The hives were built at the lower part of a tree.

It almost touches the ground.  And I wonder how the bees go in and out freely?  They are using the system of FILO (first in last out).

Don’t worry, they are stingless bee.  The words on the red sign board says, “These are stingless bee best.  They are the pollinators of jungle flowers.  Please do not disturb.”

Recently, right on the mid-autumn festive evening (Saturday, 3 Oct 2009) at Batu Kawa, Kuching, the hornets (large dangerous poisoness bee) has attacked and killed 3 kids, and their mother is still in the hospital.  Wish their mother get well soon and condolence to their family.
