NATURE UP CLOSE and PERSONAL ~ FOLDER 2

FOLDER 2 contains articles which I wrote for Journal One, a leisure and lifestyle magazine that was published in the late 1990s. This monthly magazine has since ceased publication.

Dragonfly close-up

  1. The Magnificent Flying Machine ~ The dragonfly is a fast flyer and capable of some very impressive aerobatic manoeuvres.

  2. Floral Waterholes ~ The Straits Rhododendron bears attractive pink or light purple flowers which attract insects to their nectar. They are watering holes where sometimes predators lurk.

  3. Ambush Artistes ~ Different families of spider catch their prey in different ways. Crab spiders of the family Thomisidae just lie perfectly still and wait in ambush for their food to come along.
