these moths jump / skip around their little patch of habitat (usually a few leaves of a tall herb near the host tree), pretending to be a little jumping spider. Recent work has shown these moths are Batesian mimics of several species of Salticidae, many of which are black and white.

This pair were constantly moving in and out from under submerged rocks in a fast flowing large mountain stream pool.
We see these less often than Hemidactylus garnotii and Gekko chinensis.

So far this is the most common snake we have found whilst out at night. We've seen them next to forest trails, in gardens, inside storm drains, on walls, next to road curbs and climbing trees and shrubs.
Another fairly common Hong Kong species. We've found them in a wide variety of habitats throughout the SAR, in cultivated fields, mountain marshes and even brackish mangrove areas.
