Fireflies are been seen in Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. As SBWR is a mangrove habitat so i'm thinking if does mangrove & fireflies have any relationship? YES! Looks like the mangrove tree is the Sonneratia caseolaris.
Sonneratia caseolaris is a rare mangrove tree in Singapore, not sure about other country, how many are there in Singapore? This tree had been found in Woodlands Town Garden and it's about 10-15m tall! (link). We should try our best to save our mangroves and not let them to be gone from Singapore! Do you know that there are only 5% of mangroves left in Singapore!
Why are Sonneratia caseolaris rare in SG? Are the fruits hard to grow/survive?...............

Bats at SBWR
I was told by a friend that there are bats over at Sungei Buloh. There are 12 bats in total!
Their eyes are wide open! Shouldn't they be sleeping? I've also notice that there are juv. spiders on it!
Cool!
