Curved Long-Spined Spider under UV- Macracantha arcuata ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Most, if not all spiny spiders have hard and tough abdomens that will fluoresce under UV illumination, even if they are coloured, as seen in this spider.

Check out Macracantha arcuata under "normal" light:

The abdomen is reddish-orange in colour. No doubt one of the most bizarre spiders on Earth.

Long time didn't drop by. I'm thinking time sell my d600 and grab d750 for travel. Good move?

Any sifu here know wat place to hunt for old AI nikon lens for cheap price?

not much difference btwn 600 n 750 mah. why nt u save and get a gopro hero 4. do short short clips. more memorable than photos. and light.

quite a big difference if you really compare them side by side.

that being said, it's pointless to get such a high performance camera just for travel photography imo.

Hi all, I already locked my target to get a Nikon D5500 with 18140 lens. May I ask most where does most expert here shop for Nikon camera which offer best service and price?

well for me if i alraedy have a high performance camera, i would want to bring it out for travel, I would not accept the lesser IQ from my other bodies (if i had others). each to their own maybe, last overseas trip I bought my compact and my dSLR. I ended up taking a lot of pix w/ my mobile and compact, WHILE lugging around my dslr in my backpack. Only at locations where i felt i needed the IQ then I bring out the dslr

really alot difference? such as?

true, but upgrading into a faster camera for travelling is a bit overkill for me.

depends on how you see "a lot". the better AF and tilting screen on the d750 means a lot to me. not to mention they are priced differently.

anyways just my opinion.
