It's our famous Malaysian Belacan! But from our experience, certain brands work better than others, so we tend to buy a particular brand. Even our lil' butts have a preference for high quality belacan!
The brand does make a difference , they have preference over a certain Penang Brand .


From Teo's input during the book launch last year, in the last few trips we have also added E into B and the result were fairy good, it attracted a Jewel Nawab at Panti forest the first time we employed the combination.

We also observed a preference for the B and E combination by the Jays , Five Bars and even the Leopards. All the BFs prefer the BE combination, perhaps due to the protein. On the recent Fraser's Hill trip the BE combination was also employed successfully.

Another input from Ulu Gerok is the Orang Asli always use CS in collecting butterflies, the stuff is difficult to come by unless you have contact with a chicken farm. I have idenitfied a substitute which is essentially CS but in a much more manageable form........... will test it when I have a chance.

There is another formula F for the shade lovers, which feed on tree sap and rotten fruits , Khew told me sometimes back but it is too tedious to prepare.....

Cheers!
