#Didyouknow?

Two new species of flies were discovered in the Pulau Ubin mangroves!

One of these, a new genus of Sepsid fly (pictured), was found in the mangroves of Sungei Teris.

The other species – the Long-Legged Fly (Trigonocera ubinensis), is a predatory insect and bio-controller that feeds on other smaller insects like sandflies and midges. It’s named after Pulau Ubin!

These new findings underscore the rich biodiversity and natural heritage in Pulau Ubin. That’s pretty fly, isn’t it!
