Black and White Jumper- Carrhotus sannio ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Not a very common Jumping Spider although they can be found in gardens. I have only seen this spider twice, and the first one I've seen was more white than yellowish, quite interesting.

Cross Spider- Argiope dang ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This species of Cross Spider is pretty common throughout Peninsular Malaysia, and can often be found in gardens, parks or places near streams or drains.

This spider can grow as large as the other Argiope spiders, and are often confused with A. catenulata and A. mangal due to the similar, cylinder-type abdomen.

Batik Golden Web Spider- Nephila antipodiana ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A young adult Nephila antipodiana. These spiders occur in at least 2 different colour morphs- yellow and black.

The yellowish tints of the webs will "shine" in gold under the morning sun- thus the name! The web by itself is strong, but not very sticky. However, insect carcasses left on the web will make the web a whole lot stickier!

Mantis and butterfly prey by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A large preying mantis tearing through a butterfly it has just caught. Unlike spiders which only digest the internals of their prey, mantises eat pretty much the entire prey, leaving little, if not nothing behind.

Comb-footed Spider (Theriididae) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Any form of ID is highly appreciated!

Found this fancy looking-spider on bamboo leaves. The "combs" on each leg are especially evident in this shot.


Black Sailor Spider- Neoscona cf. nautica ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Found this spider waiting in close proximity to a female Neoscona. The males tend to rest in a diamond shaped manner (as in photo), and builds smaller and messier webs.

"Sunday Begins" on my 500px page
Woke up on my first Sunday on a business trip to India and somehow got inspired to take a photo in the hotel room.

Ladybird mimicking spider- Paraplectana sp. ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A young Paraplectana, the colour of the abdomen has not turned red/yellow yet, and the black spots are also undeveloped.

Mimicry comes in many ways. Although most spiders tend to mimic ants, mainly because ants make very nasty food to predators; some unique ones like Paraplectana mimics ladybirds. Ladybirds have tough shells which deters predators, and the Paraplectana makes sure to use this to its advantage.

Orange Harvestman by Ji Tan, on Flickr

If you are afraid of daddy long-legged spiders, then you are going to be terrified by these arachnids!


Many harvestmen may look like much larger versions of daddy long-legged spiders we have at home, but they are not considered as spiders due to the lack of a true thorax and abdomen.


Harvestmen are usually omnivores and can be found in moist, shaded areas of parks or forests.

Stick insects getting ready to mate by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A male (left) and female (right) stick insects getting together. I was expecting some kind of mating ritual like those seen in many different organisms; but apparently these guys prefer turning the heat up pronto

ID is kindly appreciated


A Celebes Leucauge in resting position- Leucauge celebesiana ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A Celebes Leucauge spider assuming resting position, with her forelegs being "left hanging". It is only when the spider is sure that the surrounding is safe before she really rests.
