Tetragnathid spiderlings by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A cluster of Long-Jawed spiderlings. The remains of the white egg sac can be seen in the background.

Spiderlings lack morphological characters and are thus very difficult to identify based on visual cues alone.

Maybe Black-and-White Jumper (Carrhotus sannio ♀?) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A cute, common and cooperative jumping spider which can be found on low vegetation in gardens. Been trying hard to figure out the ID of this cute spider, could this actually be the female of a Carrhotus sannio? If it is then the common name may have to be changed haha
Brown Sailor Spider (Neoscona nautica ♀) ready to eat by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A Neoscona spider moving towards her just-wrapped termite fly prey. Neoscona spiders are nocturnal and will start spinning their moderately large webs for the night at approximately 7-8pm. There are plenty of insects at night, so food is usually not a problem.

Like many other orb weaver spiders, a Neoscona doesn't always eat its prey right away, especially when they are already full (like this one).

Multi-coloured Cross Spider (Argiope versicolor ♂) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A male Argiope versicolor releasing his bridge-line. These male spiders only have one main focus in life, which is to find and mate at least once, and ideally only twice. Male Argiope will only feed and drink every once in awhile; most of the time they will be on the move and hunt for females of the same species.

The males will use their specialized pedipalps to inject sperm into the epigyne of a female. After that, the males will often break one or both of their palps in the epigyne to prevent other males from fertilizing the same female.

The males are so efficient and evolved that they live only to mate, once the 2nd pedipalp is broken in the female's epigyne, the male spider dies immediately, and automatically, and very often it will end up becoming the food for the female- somewhat similar to the sacrificing males in redback spiders.
Boomerang Spider- Rhomphaea sp. ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This bizarre-looking comb-footed spider iseasy to recognized based on thelong and curvy "tails".

Often hanging on the bottom-side of leaves or branches, these spiders don't really spin a lot of webs to catch preys.
Flat-Bellied Ground Spider (likely Gnaphosidae) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

An unidentified, fast-moving spider found on a tree trunk.

These bizarre-looking spiders are easy to recognized based on their long and curvy "tails".

Twin-Spotted Sylvan- Coeliccia cf. didyma♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A beautiful and relatively large-sized featherleg damselfly. Many of these damselflies will assume an opened wing position when perching.

yeah lol, but no kaki around me    might be going to FRIM again these few days, any particular spiders you want me to shoot? haha

I think I have almost all of the spiders available there, but @DS_Legacy might need your help to collect some, if you dare to 
Heard that they will be heading there as well soon

oh alright, i'll just shoot whatever I found haha 

Oh... Which area ? 😅

Second pic with diffuser ? How is the results without flash ? Btw which cam and lens nice pics.

wah 

was really worried of it jumping onto me as I approach, definitely not those average little spiders.

One of the shots today~

Red-tailed Racer- Gonyosoma oxycephalum by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This green colour, medium-sized Colubrid is an arboreal (living on trees) snake that feeds mainly on young birds. This snake got its name because of the slightly reddish tail that it has. The blue coloured tongue looks weird, but attractive at the same time. It is said that the snake has an air "bag" in its neck which can be inflated to make the snake look intimidatingly larger.

Although arboreal,  Red-tailed Racers occasionally go down to the ground to get from one place to another. I don't know much about snakes, but was really lucky to be able to come across one
