Lantern fly : Where to spot?

Taman Negara Kuala Tahan

Like red-light-bulb “nose”, the lantern fly does not light up like a lantern. It is, however, very colourful, with striking patterns on its wings. Not all species are so brightly coloured though, with some being just plain white with a red snout.

Usually seen singly or in pairs perching unmovingly on the trunk of a tree, the lantern fly occurs mainly in South East Asia and there are about 30 species. In Taman Negara Pahang, they can be found on the trails to Canopy Walkway, Jenut Muda trail or sometimes on boardwalk near the Park Centre.

Taman negara- things to spot

Kuala Tahan
Do not head out to Taman Negara if you are expecting to spot bigger animal species. The National Park is enormous, which gives animal's ample space to roam freely without any human disturbances. This means that wild animals or birds will have enough possibilities to stay unnoticed, or even avoid human contact altogether. This is a great thing; this means animals here still have big enough living conditions, without being bothered by people (tourists).

Birding experiance at Fraser Hill

Fraser's Hill

Fraser's Hill can be found in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia in the state of Pahang. It lies about two hours north of Kuala Lumpur and 400km away from Singapore in the south. Bukit Fraser has an average altitude of 1,200 meters high but its highest point rises at 1,500 meters at the Telekom's loop. Meanwhile, the base of the Gap road is about 800 meters in height. This nature resort destination is one of several highland tourist resorts located along the vast Titiwangsa Mountain range, which is covered with lush rainforests and green valleys. The entirety of Fraser's Hill is a protected nature reserve and gazetted wildlife sanctuary.
