Ability to walk on water:
Gift of a
long, hydrophobic legs
to help them stay above
water.
The tiny hairs on the legs
provide both a
hydrophobic surface as
well as a larger surface
area to spread their
weight over the water.

Blackmailing
The male water strider(w.s.) will
black mail the female w.s. by
tapping his legs on the surface of
the water that will lure predator
to come.
During the foreplay, male
mounts on top of the female and
if she resists, he will tap the
water surface more actively and
since the female is underneath,
there’s a high chance she’ll be
eaten by the predator.
So most likely she will have no
choice but to follow what the
male wants

The ecology is a biodiversity which included both
living things and non-living things.
Living things such as insects, birds, fishes and etc.
While non-living things are things like sand, water,
rocks and etc.
In most of the case, the non-living things will
provide shelters to the living things and we can also
say that it will becomes ones living thing’s habitat.

The students gathered at the Taylor’s University around 7
morning.
Had some delays due to some students are missing in
action and depart to Riverstone Eco Resort around the
time of 8.15 am
We reached out destination,

planned at the itinerary.
The lobby of the resort
30.
After the students put all their stuff at their dorms,
we gathered at a open air hall and our lecturers
talked about the brief of the ENBE project one.
After the lecturers are done, The worker, Miss
Amirah gave a short talk about the do and don’t as
well as rules and regulation that we have to follow
throughout the whole stay at Riverstone Eco Resort.
Around 10.15 am, we’re off to the surrounding to
select our own sites in our own small units.
31.
My unit took the site (left) after
looking around the surrounding
for awhile.
The reason we picked that as
our site is because it consists of
both land and water, and there’s
a sand platform at the middle of
the site as well.
On the side note, we could
found many different kinds of
species around the site too.
32.
After we marked out site and look around it, we had
our first lunch at the resort at 12pm.
The lunch was great and we continued our job at the
site around 1pm.
Finding different kind of species, sketching the
sites, collecting materials to create a logo during the
night and etc, everything was going
smoothly, until…
33.
We started to play at the river around 4 in the
afternoon!!
34.
The students in the river kept on trick the other students
that just came back from their site about we are having a
“meeting” and when they came down, we just splashed
them with water.
35.
We ended the fun session about 6pm and we went
back to our dorm to get washed and then we had our
dinner that provided by the lady in charged of
Riverstone Eco Resort.
After that, we were asked to start creating the logo
with the materials we got from the nature in the
morning.
36.
The logo that we’ve created.
9.00pm, we’re all worn out
but still all the units did the
logos and presented them to
the others around 9.30pm.
37.
After the presentation, we had a short tutorial
sessions with our lecturers at the lobby of the resort.
We had our supper, some bubur chacha and deserts
as well before the light’s out due to the management
will turn off the electricity generators.
Even though the lights were offed around 12
am, some of the students are still awake and most of
them went to sleep after 1am.
39.
We woke up around 7 in the
morning on the next day.
After washed ourselves, we had a
stretching session in front of the
resort’s lobby.
After that, we had our breakfast
and then we went for a obstacle
challenges and river rafting
organized by the management
people.
40.
My unit skipped the
activities because we had a
few things left to do with
the site, if we don’t skipped
it, we wont be having
enough time to do it
anymore.
Around 9am, my unit went
back to our site for the last
site observation.
Besides that, we used the
time we had left to filmed
our ENBE project 1 video.
41.
Around 11.30am we all went back to the dorms to
pack our stuff and ready to gathered at the lobby.
The lady in charged provide us a lunch too before
we went back to Taylor's university.
42.
We took some group photos before we left the resort around
1.00pm.
44.
After the trip, we started to look up info related to our
findings to do our group part, “The Info graphic boards”.
We did those boards with the theme “Reproduction”.
