      Yes, especially in Mulu National Park, Sarawak where there are many flying species there.
      Usually see them flying in the early morning walks.
      Most of the time, when you get too near to them during day time without realising they are just a few inches away or a feet away, and they flew away from you.       Posted 8 years ago
