Nephila pilipes pair ♂♀ and web stabilimenta by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A pair of Giant Golden Web Spiders resting on the female's golden-coloured web. Note the huge size difference between the female (left) and male (right)!

Although most of the time Nephila pilipes do not build stabilimentum (the zig-zag structure on the web), it seems that when the web is exposed, or built on moving structures (as for this case, lalang), the spider will resort to building this specialized webs for support.

Praying Mantis by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A large-sized mantis totally ignoring me and taking its sweet time to "escape". Despite its gradual retreat, the mantis has never taken its eyes (the dark spot on the eye) off me.

Zebra Smiley (Theridion zebrinum ♀) with Signal fly prey by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A comb-footed spider enjoying her large-sized meal. This fancy-looking spider has a "smiley face" at the tip of its abdomen, which is pretty amazing

On top of that, the Zebra Smiley builds unique, zig-zag webs which are somewhat parallel across the broad surface of a leaf.

Four-Humped Tent Spider- Cyrtophora cicatrosa ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A tiny tent spider resting head facing down in its sophisticated, 3-dimensional, tent-like web. These spiders are quite small and often overlooked, but the unique webs are hard to miss.

The females are known to deposit rounded egg sacs in a vertical fashion on their webs.

Long-bodied Jungle Pholcid- Calapnita cf. deelemanae ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

The "daddy-long-legged spiders" that dwell in the jungle are very much different, and a lot colourful than the ones that we usually have at home.

This particular Pholcid has an abdomen that is many times longer than its cephalothorax. Like other pholcids, the female is known to protect the egg sacs until they hatch. The egg sacs of this particular spider are unique and arranged in a linear fashion.

bye bye nikon.

im migrating to sony

nikon d7100 with Kit lens 18 - 105mm vr
sc 2k roughly can sell how much ??

I only put filter for expensive lens eg 70200, 24/1.4 lol.

Nice machine there
Perhaps ~RM3k?

Bye Bye happy that you are going off.

Hope Sony loves you like we do.

Definitely. CZ lens is to die for

Looking to buy one.. Rm2.7k worth the money?

Haha you sounded like you're selling one RM2.7k i think it's a good price IF the condition of the camera is good (no obvious scratches/bump marks etc and)

Haha.. Looking to get one.. But not sure how to judge d secondhand price.. If not mistaken still have a 4 months warranty from Nikon msia.. Have yet to go inspect d cam..

Guys. Any suggestion on getting a tripod which is not too expensive but it is reasonably good as well?

Your budget?

Probably a few hundred? Will it get me anything?
