Insects and Spiders
of Kundasang Town

Moths at the lamps, spiders in the vegetable farms, beetles on the roadside flowers: the small creatures of the highland town at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, one record at a time.

Kundasang town · Kinabalu Park · Spiders of Borneo

The town itself — its vegetable farms, flower stalls, roadsides and the lights of its shops and lodges — is a good place to meet small creatures. This page keeps every insect, spider and other small creature photographed in the town, one card each. Where a species has its own page on this site, the card links to it.

About these records

Every photograph is the photographer's own, taken in Kundasang town. Names are the photographer's unless a card says they were confirmed; a name in capitals, such as Thiania sp. BRONZE, is his working label for a kind not yet identified. Records from inside Kinabalu Park are kept on the Kinabalu Park page. The family's 2009 Christmas holiday photographs are on a separate page, Kundasang Christmas Holiday: The Little Creatures We Met.
