user posted imageGolden-Coloured Tortoise Beetle (Aspidomorpha sp.; Cassidinae) by PF T.J., on Flickr

An extremely beautiful Tortoise Beetle, especially when it flies around under the morning sunlight!

These bugs have transparent exoskeleton that sort of act like a shield to the bug (Not sure why these are not called Shield Bugs instead tongue.gif)

Unfortunately, this gorgeous-looking beetle is kind of a pest >_<

user posted imageStalk-eye Flies (Teleopsis sp.) mating by PF T.J., on Flickr

I was lucky enough to find and observe a mating pair recently happy.gif

Stalk-eye Flies, as the name suggest, have very long eye-stalks (yes, those are the eyes on the far left and right tongue.gif).

The males (on top) tend to have much longer eye stalks, which acts as a prerequisite to "tackle" the females (bottom).

Males and females tend to rub their forelegs together (also in my Flickr account), which I suspect it to be a mode for stridulation- calling out for a mate.

When a pair of male and female are close together, the male will bend its body low while using its forelegs to continuously tap the surface of the leaf as a sign for mating.

When mating, the male steps on top of the female. The forelegs of the male are put on the "V-shaped" abdominal spines of the female (so that's what its for lol tongue.gif)

PS: These flies are a nightmare to photograph up-close due to their very weird body shape!

user posted imageHoi Sen's Trilobite Beetle (juv)- Platerodrilus ruficollis (?) by PF T.J., on Flickr

This particular beetle was originally described as Duliticola hoiseni; likely a juvenile.

Trilobite beetles are so-called due to their resemblance to the already-extinct Marine Trilobite arthropods.

The females of these beetles are termed Neotenous since they remain in larvae-form throughout its life.

user posted imageOriental vine snake- Ahaetulla prasina by PF T.J., on Flickr

A yellow morph of a beautiful juvenile Oriental Vine snake, which will probably change colour with age (?).

These particular genus of snakes are known to have binocular vision and horizontal pupils (see photo). They are ovoviviparous as well, unlike other snakes that lay eggs.

Snakes often flick out their forked tongues to "smell", detecting both friend and foe, predator and prey.

user posted imageMalayan vine snake feasting- Ahaetulla mycterizans by PF T.J., on Flickr

As a member of the Colubrid family, the Malayan vine snake has groove teeth located at the back of its jaw (opisthoglyphous), which is very much different from those in vipers (Viperidae) and cobras (Elapidae). Although constituting the largest snake family, colubrids are generally harmless to humans (not un-painful though tongue.gif) .

Ahaetulla mycterizans is morphologically similar to Ahaetulla prasina apart from a white belly with paired longitudinal green lines.

user posted imageHarvestman-Opiliones; Tithaeus sp. (?) by PF T.J., on Flickr

Harvestmen look a lot like spider superficially (often confused with daddy-long-legged-spiders) but they are not considered as true spiders.

Despite also having eight legs, harvestmen do not have a distinctively separated thorax and abdomen like spiders do: The thorax and abdomen are merged together (as seen in photo .

Harvestmen are usually herbivours or scavengers.

user posted imageBanded bullfrog- Kaloula pulchra ♀ by PF T.J., on Flickr

This cute and chubby frog is pretty well adapted to urban environments and often come out before heavy rains during the night.

Banded bullfrogs let out a loud and distinctive calls at night which we are all very familiar with.

When threatened, Banded Bullfrogs will inflate itself and becoming even rounder (and cuter!), and at the same time releasing sticky, and irritating goo from the skin of its body.

user posted imageEriovixia sp. ♀ - Red Morph by PF T.J., on Flickr

This brilliant-looking, female orb web spider looks superficially like the common whitish-grey Eriovixia laglaisei found in gardens, but is fiery red in colour! And I am quite sure there are plenty of different colour variants out there: Are the colour differences due to the difference in species? Adaptation to different environments? Or simply different stages of instar?

user posted imageTree-Stump Spider moulting- Poltys cf. illepidus ♀ by PF T.J., on Flickr

Most photos of Tree-Stump Spiders are taken while in resting stage, where the legs are all clumped together, making the superficial details less observable. I was lucky to find one moulting; took a few shots for record hehe XD

Tree-Stump Spiders are so-called due to their unique camouflage (note the abdominal spines) that look like tree branches.

user posted imageScorpion Spider- Arachnura sp. ♀ by PF T.J., on Flickr

Despite imitating stings of scorpions, Arachnura uses the overall appearance to look like wilted leaves.

The tail itself is very flexible and can be curled upwards or downwards whenever necessary (i.e. walking on the ground). The tip of the tail is composed of three pointed ends which can also be used to hold on to the spider's web.
