Kota Damansara upset

The gang

I made a follow-up trip to the Kota Damansara Community Forest last Saturday and took
on the Scout's Trail.Four other guys were in the queue to look for bugs at the forest and well, it didn't turn out
as interesting as I would have expected.We spent about two hours hiking the trial and found very few insects in the foliaged area.I capped off a few shots for record purposes and spent much of my time trying to blaze a
path around the hilly jungle.Maybe the timing was a bit off and weather may have affected the insect activity there. I found a few specie of flies and some small beetles. My hope of finding large spider species in this neck of the woods seems to have faded.

Kota Damansara Community Forest

The Kota Damansara Community Forest is one place that was on my 'must go' list.After hearing much about this place from a forum member from PhotoMalaysia.com, I
went in blind and tried to locate this place.The trip itself was a small adventure.I was lost and wounded up in Section 9 in Kota Damansara. After asking around, I was told that the Community Forest was actually located in Section
10 of the township.Finally, after spending nearly an hour searching for the place, I found it and much of its
description matches the photographs which I saw on the newspapers.I found a trail head and hiked for about 15-minutes. It led to a construction site. Frustrated, I went up to a group of old-timers who were waiting for their friends at the trail. I asked one of them about the forest and his response was: "Ah? You want to hike the trail
ah? You must hire a tour guide lah.."What the fuck? From his tone, I can sense some hostility. So, I went on to check out the rest of the Community area before leaving and found two
trail entrance.The middle-aged guy I was speaking to earlier was leaving behind a paper trail and it was
then that I found out that the guys were from the Kepong Hash Harriers. What a fucking bunch of retards.Anyway, I made my way into the trail and hiked for an hour before ending up at the 'Scouts
Trail'.During my solo hike, I discovered that the forest is rich with plant life.Sadly, the insect population was small.Even the jumping spiders were just babies.On the whole, I see some potential on a follow-up outing as well as a night macro do.
