Here are some tiny insect species that I spotted during my visit.

When you are hiking in this forest, please be aware of your surrounding as it’s not an easy track. It may be muddy and slippery during rainy days and be alert of falling trees.

I hope when we visit the place, we will show care to the plantation and will not throw rubbish in the forest, keep clean and maintain the forest as it is.

The western half of the study area resides on Dover Forest, a secondary regrowth forest on abandoned
plantation land. From the 1920s to the 1940s, Dover Forest was part of a rubber plantation. It is estimated
that the rubber plantation was abandoned during World War II and was not re-established thereafter. In
the 1950s, low-density settlements were established within the forest, with sundry tree cultivation

One of the icons for this Dover forest is the Ficus virens tree, this tree is a nationally critically endangered species in Singapore.

A total of 158 species has been recorded within the area covered by this survey. This included 82 birds, 8
mammals, 11 reptiles, 8 amphibians, 4 fish, 23 butterflies and 17 odonates (damselflies/dragonflies), as
well as 5 snail species. The diversity of all these groups is by no means exhaustive
and more species should occur with a longer period of the survey. Study report here

During my visits, I spotted some tiny species.
