Finally see a firefly - Lampyridae

Still remember a post i posted years ago regarding ever see a firefly http://sensesmindthought.blogspot.com/2009/06/ever-see-firefly.html?I had always wanted to see one. In Malaysia, there are four major groups of fireflies, the Pteroptyx, Luciola, Colophotia and Lychnuris. This year, i'm lucky enough to finally see one on my way down fr Mount Kinabalu through Timpohon, just one, however due to the extremely exhausted condition of mine during that time, i only had a glance through it and never really have mood to enjoy the one and only firefly that fly through my face for the first time in my life......really regretted after that as i only have one thought at that moment, to get out of the Timpohon trail and reach civilisation ASAP.... sigh. But tonight i finally got to see a whole bunch...or should i say a few colonies by the river side in their nature habitat......i did it!!! ^_^ I enjoy watching them blinking by the dark river side in their nature habitat and light up the whole tree as if it is a decorated Christmas tree light up with blinking LED....Currently the happiness in me is indescribable by word. So as to say : YAY...i make it!!!
Hope that the whole area will be conservation site to preserve and protect this rare and unique type of live form by mother nature from extinction ..... sure hope to visit the site again, the whole stretch of river side of Sungai Kerian, worth visiting...............
