CAMERON HIGHLANDS
For collecting, purchase
a Jungle Trails Map from shops in Tanah Rata. One can get lost in the
jungle easily, so stay on the trail. Trails to Gunong Jasar and Parit
Waterfall are good for collecting phasmids at night. Robinson Falls is
good for highland butterflies such as Delias and Lycanids. Besides butterflies
and small highland Phasmids, beetle collecting is almost impossible. The
hills being in a valley make light traps useless. The higest point accessible
by road is the TV station (6666 feet) and is good for light traps. However,
this place is zoned as security area and might land you in trouble.
