The trail was steep and wet. We climbed for about 15 minutes before I spotted this glorious critter on the path..

A nice way to take a break!

Another view of the millipede.

It was about 8-10 inches long.. probably the largest I've ever seen!

A few more minutes up the trail and I noticed these caterpillars feeding on some leaves.

It took about another 1/2 an hour to reach the canopy walk. We were tired and sweaty. We listened to the safety talk given by the Canopy Walk Officer and then inched our way out into the canopy.

We were treated to a view usually reserved for the resident Scarlet Minivets, squirrels and Macaques.

It was late in the day, so not much animal activity, although we managed to spot a few Giant Squirrels dancing in the treestops. We also saw lots of butterflies flittering about and birds darting around.

The breeze was blowing the canopy which enhanced the thrill of being so high into the trees.

After a short rest and some time to soak in the beauty of the Malaysian rainforest, we walked back down the trail to the Malaysian Nature Society Nature Educaiton Center where we had started from.

We chatted about the spectacular day, the amazing sights, sounds, and smells of the rainforest we're fortunate anough to have witnessed.W

We were glad to have experienced such amazing diversity.. The forest somehow manages to rejuvenate the spirit.

As we drove home we talked about how we could incorporate our experiences and newly gained knowledge into lessons for our students. Our goals had been accomplished.
