Spotting wildlife in the hustle and bustle of the city during daytime is not easy, but when night falls and the city quiets down, reptiles and insects awaken, even in some urban parks.

Nature lover Fang Qiaoran waited about three hours to get a glimpse of what's active during nighttime at a park in her city Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, and here's a collection of her amazing pictures.

The bamboo viper, whose color resembles that of bamboo trees, is highly poisonous. You definitely need to avoid any close contact with these bright-green snakes in the wild.

Once bitten, "half an hour without proper treatment, you'll have to go through amputation or you'll die," Fang said.

Yet, for her who is always in search for any wildlife, the crawling reptile is not a dangerous, but instead an exciting sight.

"You only have to look at their eyes to tell if it's a male or a female: males' eyes are red, and females' yellow," the enthusiastic animal lover said.

"The only trick is to keep a distance, above five meters, and stay put."

The snakes thrive in the park because of the existence of large amounts of frogs.

Durig her night tour in the park, she also encountered many other species.
