Kpg Kuala Sibuti (Kadulit Kanan) Firefly Watching Area

Today on the 6th March, I found out that the Kuala Sibuti, Kadulit Kanan Bridge area is being developed to make way for a new bridge. The area surrounding this old bridgehas good firefly display trees. With the building of the new bridge, the trees surrounding will be cut, fireflies will relocate. What a waste, this site have displays trees that are by the roadside, easily the most accessible sites for fireflies compared to all the others that we have surveyed thus far..

Both sides of the river afford great views of the display trees without having to utilise boats like all of our other sites. We've made several nite time pictures of the display trees there and due to it's acessibility has mooted it as one of our regular study area.



The wooden Kadulit Kanan Bridge is already in bad condition.


An area already cleared .to put heavy equipment.



Fireflies Display trees.


First Piling if the bridge is up.


These trees will be gone soon.



A new bridge will be built along side of the old one.


Just to keep the photograph before they are cut.
