Lampyridae Faeries

Yesterday was a great journey to Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor. We went there early so we had a seafood dinner nearby. The foods were exotic to the city people, where you can’t find something like a sweet curry crab, which you’ll think the taste is strange but after you taste it you just can’t stop thinking of it even after a day.

"A year long Christmas tree"


My family and I went to this village of the fairies just to appreciate their magic creation, ‘The flashing Christmas tree’, even though it’s not Christmas yet. These so called faeries were fireflies or ‘Kelip Kelip’ in Malaysian language where it means ‘to twinkle’. We need to ride a sampan so that we can get near enough to have a sight of it. It was a lucky day because there was new moon and no rains. This amazing phenomenon is special here in Kampung Kuantan, where these fairies, synchronize their light emissions precisely.
