Then back in the lobby this libellulid was perched on the wall (Zyxomma petiolatum) and finally some kind of June Bug (as I know them) was on the wall of my rooms balcony. I could tell already this was such a fabulously biodiverse place and couldn’t wait to get into the jungle!

All drawn to the light - the nymphalid Burmese Bushbrown (Mycalesis perseoides), the tiger moth Macrobrochis gigas, some kind of tussock moth and the coenagrionid damselfly Yellow Featherlegs (Copera marginipes).

That said, the difference between my first visit in December 2018 and my return in May 2019 was still very noticeable with May an absolute riot of colour compared to the moderate blooms of the winter! Though it was only a little hotter, around 25-28 degrees compared to 18-21.

However, this temperate climate is less affected by seasonal extremes due to its near tropical latitude - so the flowers always bloom!
