Wildlife encounter on the trail

A personal rediscovery · Singapore & beyond

Notes from a
Recovering Entomologist

I never actually stopped being fascinated by insects. I just got busy. This is what happens when you start paying attention again. Every walk becomes a field trip, every railing a microhabitat, and it turns out Singapore has been full of extraordinary creatures this entire time. I just stopped looking for a while.

"The entomology never went away. It just waited."

I grew up fascinated by insects. Studied molecular biotechnology. Got busy. And then one day I stopped on a trail and realised I'd been walking past things I actually know for years without really looking at them.

So I started looking again. This is the record.

Keeping it to general areas. I don't share exact locations for sensitive species, and if you visit I'd ask that you be quiet about it too.

I post on Instagram when something stops me on a walk. The website is the permanent archive with full notes. Instagram is where I share what I just found and why it made me stop.
