The canopy walk is a good way to spot insects on railings.

I've been seeing more ant-mimicking spiders (mimics of Polyrhachis illaudata, P. bicolor [Salticidae], weaver ant [Thomisidae]) and mantises (white coloured one, Myrmicaria mimic; both nymphs), two clusters of book lice when visiting in the morning.

Also saw P. bicolor, Tetraponera, Polyrhachis (golden) [alates], Cataulacus [foundress queen? she was roaming around outside the nest], the Limacodidae caterpillar [previously seen].

Only saw one Plain Nawab caterpillar, on Red Saga (usually the young plant).
