Spotted Orbweavers (Genus Neoscona)Observer
carissaaaDescription
This spider is fairly small, only about 3cm in length. It has a tan body with brown spots all around its legs and abdomens. Its head is not that large or round, but instead is slightly flat, oval-shaped, and covered in white fibers/hairs. It has spinnerets and as you can see in the photo, there is a web attached to it (my assumption is that it is some garden orb). The 8 legs are very crab-like, with a tarsus/claw on some of them as far as I can see. I believe that the spider only has 2 eyes and they're very beady.

Beach Sheoak (Casuarina equisetifolia)Observer
carissaaaDescription
Most of the island was covered by these Rhu trees. They were extremely tall to even possibly 50m. Its bark is deep brown, thin for the height of the tree, ridged, and flaky in oblong pieces. Though it is a flowering tree, I did not notice much fruits or flowers with the exception of some cones here and there. However, the tree has very delicate needle-like twigs that disillusions the tree to look very soft and similar to the leaves of a Weeping Willow. The color of the twigs/leaves are dull and similar to that of sage/seaweed. Some leaves are also brown. The leaves which are reduced to tiny, pointed scales are arranged in patterns of 10 at the joints of the twigs so it is actually fairly sparse. Due to its sensitive nature, the leaves easily fall off and are more affected by the wind. There is not much wildlife living on the trees either, besides the average bird.

Spiny Ants (Genus Polyrhachis)Observer
carissaaaDescription
The ant is a golden brown color, coming off slightly metallic in my photos. It is larger than the average ant, maybe about 3-4cm in length. Its abdomen is medium-sized and droops downwards. The antennas and legs of the ant are a darker red-brown color and look to be quite long. If you look closely, you can see some sort of double, curved hooks on its thorax and abdomen. This as well as the color of the ant is what led my assumption that this organism is a Fish-hook ant (can be found in Sumatra/Borneo so would not be uncommon if it was introduced here).

Dicots (Class Magnoliopsida)Observer
carissaaaDescription
My assumption of this organism is that it is some variant of the white poplar because of its white underside of the leaves. However, this plant's leaves are slightly less lobed than the typical European white poplar and I did not notice any white branches/twigs. The leaves are a light to medium green and look relatively thin (which explains the flopping). The veins on the leaves are simple and minimal, with a lot of space between each vein. The shape of the leaves resemble an upside down mushroom cap, but has slightly more pointed edges.

Oriental Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor)Observer
carissaaaDescription
The Oriental Garden lizard is about 40cm in size. It has a stout body with small, bumpy scales similar to an iguana. Its head and neck is a vibrant orange color, whereas the rest of its body is a tan to terracotta shade. However, it has a black patch from its head to its throat (an indicator of the male gender). It's tail is fairly long (almost twice the length of its body), pointy, and seemingly stiff. Its crest is a not as tall or extravagant as other lizards, and maybe only about .5cm taller than the rest of the body. The legs of the lizard are short, but its toes and claws are very long with no seeming pattern in its variation of length (which most likely aids its grip in the vertical position on the tree). Both its ear and nostrils look small, and its eyes move in all different directions rapidly.
