INSECT DIVERSITY OF KAWAG BASE CAMP, ULU SEGAMA-MALUA FORESTRESERVES, SABAHPrincipal investigators:Assisted by:Arthur Y. C. ChungAndi Maryani A. M.Nurul Aqidah IbrahimJohn Lee YukangM.A. Tajuddin MustaphaAndi Sabrina A.M.Mustapha ChuaPetronella Dasim (preparation of report)SUMMARYAn insect diversity survey was carried out from 13 th to 17 th of February, 2012 at theKawag Base Camp within the Ulu Segama-Malua Forest Reserves (USM FRs). TheBase Camp is the centre of administration for USM FRs, covering an area of 241,089ha. This survey was conducted together with the EIA fieldwork, with the same teamreporting on wildlife mitigation and monitoring measures within USM FRs, for thepreparation of the EIA report.Among the flagship insect species recorded during the survey were the Moon Moth(Actias maenas), Atlas Moth (Archaeoattacus staudingeri) and the Stag Beetle(Odontolabis dalmani). Interesting information from insects can be incorporated topromote ecotourism when the Kawag Riverside Lodge is established in the near future.Some Bornean endemic species were also recorded, namely the Three-horned Beetle,Chalcosoma moellenkampi and four Tiger Moth species (Cyana maiae, Cyana saulia,Spilosoma hosei and Amata prepuncta). Information from insect diversity can beused to support and enhance conservation effort within USM FRs. Despite theinteresting insects recorded, the nocturnal insect diversity during the survey was low.This was partly due to the proliferation of a few flying ant species as part of theirnuptial and mating process.The various wildlife mitigation measures implemented at Kawag and throughoutUSM FRs indirectly contribute significantly to insect diversity and conservation. TheDFO of USM FRs and his staff should be commended for their pro-active action andenforcement on the wildlife monitoring programmes.Note: Some of the insect identifications are still tentative and subject to confirmation. This report willbe further improved with comments from various experts.3


1. STUDY AREA & PURPOSE OF STUDYKawag Base Camp is the centre of administration for the Ulu Segama-Malua ForestReserves (USM FRs) in Lahad Datu, <strong>Sabah</strong> (Figure 1). USM comprises six forestreserves (241,089 ha) as shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. The initial primary focus ofUSM initiative was only the Ulu Segama and Malua Forest Reserves, but later, otherforest reserves were included as they are located within / adjacent to the USM.Table 1: Forest reserves within the USM SFM project area.No. Forest Reserve Class Function Area (ha)1 Ulu Segama* II Production 202,8562 Malua II Production 33, 9693 Kawag Gibong VI Virgin Jungle Reserve 7074 Merisuli VI Virgin Jungle Reserve 5525 Sepagaya** VI Virgin Jungle Reserve 2,3166 Sapagaya I Protection 698*952 ha are outside of the USM project area**1,812 ha are outside of the USM project areaTotal 241,098The Base Camp is located at N 05 o 03.102’, E 117 o 58.856’ at about 120 m a.s.l. Thevegetation adjacent to the camp is of lowland dipterocarp forest.This survey wasconducted from 13 th to17 th of February, 2012as part of therequirement to preparethe EIA report forUSM FRs. During theEIA survey, the teamvisited various siteswithin the USM FRsto look at the variouswildlife mitigationmeasures initiated.This report, however,focuses mainly on thenocturnal insects. It isan unpublished reportFigure 1: Location of USM FRs in <strong>Sabah</strong>.for record purposes only, highlighting some of the interesting insects recorded fromKawag and some points of discussion on insect diversity and conservation.4

2. MATERIALS & METHODS2.1 Light-trappingLight trap was used to sample nocturnal insects. The trap consists of a vertical whitesheet (2 X 2 m) illuminated by a 250W mercury-lithium bulb. The trap was set up inan open area facing the forest reserve, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. A GPS (Model: GarminGPSMAP 60CSx) was used to determine the coordinates of each sampling site.Temperature and humidity were taken with a digital gadget from Oregon Scientific(model no. ETHG-912).To evaluate diversity of the sampling area, insect species and individuals (≥ 5 mm)within the 1 X 1 m square of the white cloth were enumerated from 8:30 to 9:00 pm.This is a rapid biodiversity assessment method because by the end of the samplingtime, species and individual numbers can be obtained, and the data can be used tocalculate diversity indices, i.e. Shannon Wiener, Simpson and Fisher Alpha, using theSpecies Diversity & Richness version IV (SDR 2006). This method is simple, fast andcan be carried out by non-insect specialist. To avoid compounding human error, thesame staff was assigned to count the species and individual numbers throughout thesampling period, and also for other sampling sites. Light-trapping sites are shown inTable 2.Table 2: Light-trapping sites at Kawag Base Camp, USM FRs.Sampling site Coordinates Elevation(m)A1 N 05 o 03.066’(Kawag riverside E 117 o 58.278’area)A2(Kawag BaseCamp entrance)A3(Ali Baba trail)N 05 o 03.006’E 117 o 58.846’N 05 o 02.930’E 117 o 58.880’2.2 Insect specimens and identificationTemp.( o C)Humidity(%)SamplingdateRemarks91 26 87 13 Feb Fine weatherwithout moon114 24 89 14 Feb Fine weatherwithout moon100 25 91 15 Feb Fine weatherwithout moonIn this survey, focus was given to nocturnal insects only. Photographs were taken witha DSLR Nikon D300 and a compact Nikon Coolpix to facilitate identification. Onlyselected insects were sampled but photographs of most insects sighted were taken forrecord purposes.Specimens and photographs were identified based on the FRC Entomology Collectionand various reference materials, e.g. Otsuka (1988 & 2001) and Corbet & Pendlebury(1992) for butterflies; Holloway (1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1993, 1996a, 1997,1998a & b, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009 & 2011) and Robinson et al. (1994)for moths; Fujita (2010), Makihara (1999) and Tung (1983) for beetles.6


3. RESULTS & DISCUSSION3.1 Nocturnal insect diversityThe nocturnal insect diversity at the Kawag Base Camp during the sampling periodwas relatively low compared to other forest reserves as indicated in Table 3. Being afairly good logged over forest, it was expected to yield much better diversity results.Moreover, various species of interesting insects, especially macro moths were seenattracted to the lights within the Kawag resthouse, staff quarters and office at night.The low nocturnal insect diversity duringthe sampling period was partly due to theproliferation of a few hymenopteran species,especially flying ants (Figure 3). It was partof the nuptial flight and mating process ofthe ants. It is not uncommon for one colonyto release hundreds or thousands of youngwinged males and queens at any one time.Many are attracted to the light. The highabundance of the ant species is reflected inthe species-rank abundance curves inFigure 4, especially at Site A1 and A3.Figure 3: The mating process of aPolyrhachis ant species during lighttrapping.Table 3: Insect diversity within a one-square-metre, as sampled through lighttrappingat Kawag Base Camp, USM FRs (Sites A1, A2 & A3) compared to selectedsites of Rafflesia, Milian Labau, Bukit Hampuan and Gn.

These include the MoonMoth, Actias maenas and the Atlas Moth, Archaeoattacus staudingeri which aregiants among the insects. Other large interesting moths recorded were Eupterotenaessigi, Eupterote asclepiades, Ambulyx pryeri and Antheraea jana.Actias maenas is one of the two spectacular Moon Moth species found in Borneo.Although it is widely distributed in South-east Asia, it is infrequently encountered andhas been recorded only from the lowland forest (Holloway 1987). It is, however,known to be fairly common at Kawag Base Camp (Saiful Majid, pers. comm.).9


Among the moths, this species has the longest and most graceful pair of trailing tails.This striking moth has a wing span of about 14 cm and a body length of about 7 cm.The mimic ‘eye’ that forms a cresent on the forewing is believed to be a defencestrategy to frighten its intruder. Like many other saturniids, this large and beautifulmoth does not feed. It will live for about 7-10 days.Figure 6: Actias maenas (female).Figure 7: Actias maenas (male)(Photo: Robert Mijol).Figure 8: Archaeoattacus staudingeri.Archaeoattacus staudingeri is one of the Atlas Moth species recorded at Kawagduring the sampling period. This species has a deeper purplish brown compared to themore common Attacus atlas. It is distributed throughout the Sundaland but there is noinformation on its life history and not much is known on its hostplants (Holloway10


1987, Robinson et al. 2001). Interestingly, two specimens were recorded throughoutthe three night sampling at Kawag. Atlas Moths are considered the largest moths inthe world in terms of total wing surface area [upwards of c. 400 cm 2 (62 sq in)]. Theirwing spans are also among the largest, reaching over 25 cm (10 in). Females areappreciably larger and heavier. Atlas Moths are said to be named after either the Titanof Greek mythology, or their map-like wing patterns. In Hong Kong, the Cantonesename translates as "snake's head moth", referring to apical extension of the forewing,which bears a passing resemblance to a snake's head (Wikipedia 2011).Besides the night winged beauties, variousbutterfly species are expected to be found withinthe Kawag Base Camp although no effort wasemployed to sample butterflies in this survey. TheTree Nymph, Idea stolli was sighted more thanfour times at Kawag. It is a large butterfly with awing span of about 15 cm, often seen flyinggracefully in pairs at the fringe of the forest.Figure 9: Idea stolli.Although the Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing (Troides(Trogonoptera) brookiana) and other Birdwings(Troides spp.) were not sighted during the survey, they are expected to be found in thelowland forest of Kawag. Both are protected species under the Wildlife ConservationEnactment 1997.Among the large beetles sampled at Kawagwere the Three-horned Beetle, Chalcosomamoellenkampi and Stag Beetle, Odontolabisdalmani. The Three-horned Beetle is among thelargest beetles in <strong>Malaysia</strong>. Although it isconfined to Borneo, it is a locally commonbeetle. The male Stag Beetle of O. dalmani,measuring about 65 mm has a pair of hardmandibles, about 12 mm in length. BesidesBorneo, it is also found in Peninsular <strong>Malaysia</strong>,Sumatra and Java.It is also noteworthy to mention the presence of‘fire ants’ at Kawag Base Camp. The ants arefrom the subfamily Ponerinae, identified as Figure 10: Odontolabis dalmani.Leptogenys processionalis. They forage incolony of hundreds or thousands, and mostly active at night. It is an irritating speciesbecause they bite and sting any intruders which pass or step on their swarming trails,as we have experienced during light-trapping. The ants swarmed the light-trappingground in search for insects dropped onto the ground.Other butterflies, moths, beetles and insects of other groups recorded during the EIAsurvey at USM FRs are listed in Appendix 1. Some moths and beetles are showcasedin Figures 11 and 12 respectively.11

3.3 Current issues on insect diversity and conservation at Kawag Base CampWithin the USM FRs, various wildlife mitigation measures have been initiated andimplemented to conserve and protect wildlife, such as prohibition of hunting,establishment of checking stations and other wildlife monitoring programmes. Allthese are presented in the USM FRs EIA Report (2012, in preparation), whichindirectly contribute positively towards insect diversity and conservation.Checking station and gate.Warning signages.Artificial saltlick.Camera trap.Figure 13: Some of the wildlife mitigation measures implemented at USM FRs.The presence of various interestinglarge insect species, such as the MoonMoth and Atlas Moth, can be used topromote ecotourism at Kawag. Theelegant Moon moth is considered rare atmany places in <strong>Sabah</strong> but it has beencommonly sighted at Kawag. Theestablishment of the Kawag RiversideLodge in the near future can incorporateFigure 14: Eupterote naessigi is one of fascinating insects as a tourismthe more striking moths.attraction for special interest tourists.As done in 2009, the Entomology Section of FRC has curated and put up some insectson display at the Kawag office and resthouse. The Lodge which is to be built adjacentto the Kawag River is also ideal as a habitat for various lowland forest butterflyspecies.14


Figure 15: Kawag River is a suitable habitat for some lowland butterflies(Photo: Jarry Lajanga).Figure 16: The orangey-red street light at theKawag Base Camp.Nocturnal insects are highlysensitive towards ultravioletlight (Anon. 2009). Hence, itmay adversely affect the ecologyand population of insects fromthe adjacent forest. The streetlights within the Kawag BaseCamp are orangey-red in colour(infrared), and thus do not causemuch adverse effect to thenocturnal insects and otherwildlife attracted to light. Suchinfrared light (with lowultraviolet ray) should continueto be used so that it will poseless effect on the insectassemblages from the adjacentforest. White inflorescent lights(high in ultraviolet ray) installedat the verandah or porch at theresthouse and staff quartersattracted many insect species which can be disturbing and irritating. Moreover, thepresence of too many insects may dirty the premises.15


4. CONCLUSIONFrom the survey and interview with <strong>Forestry</strong> staff of USM FRs, many interestinginsects were sighted at the Kawag Base Camp despite the low diversity during thelight-trapping period. Large fascinating moths, such as the Moon Moth and AtlasMoth were recorded and they are known to be fairly common at the Kawag BaseCamp, attracted to the light at night. These insects can be used to support and promotenature tourism, especially when the Kawag Riverside Lodge is established. Thevarious wildlife mitigation measures implemented at Kawag and throughout USMFRs indirectly contribute significantly to insect diversity and conservation. The DFOof USM FRs and his staff should be commended for their pro-active action andenforcement on the wildlife monitoring programmes.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe thank the DFO of USM FRs (Indra P. Sunjoto) and his staff for logistics supportand information during the EIA survey.
