  1. Recently my friend asked me out to shoot at a new location. As usual we were looking looking for bugs to shoot when suddenly i felt something bite my butt. DAMN ANTS! Haha but nonetheless we found 3 beautiful bugs, a viper!

    Upon arrival I spotted this beautiful jumping spider which belongs to the Hyllus family. It was all hairy and had beautiful green eyes. It was very calm too.. Might be due to the rain, bugs seem sluggish.

    Here is a very rare Fan Horned Beetle aka Feather Horned. I was lucky to spot this guy.. He too was sluggish and allowed me to shoot it.. after 10 shots, this guy flew away..

    In this picture, it is actually fanning itself before flying away.

    Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures as much as i enjoy shooting them :D

  2. It's been raining quite alot here in Singapore as well. It seems that the bugs don't seem to come out after the rain. However i managed a few interesting shots.

    Firstly, I managed to put a big tick off my Macro most wanted list. Presenting to you the Ogre Faced spider. It got its name due to its resemblance to mythical creature! This spider actually makes a web to be casted on its prey!
