BNIB from Altech is rm5500, an used for rm5200.
Unfilled warranty card means nothing since Nikon service center will require both warranty card and original receipt to honor a warranty. Consider the offer if he willing to reduce the price to rm4500-4700. Since this is made in Thailand set that having potential QC issues, not made in Japan.
Or rm5100 for body, lens and flash. Some may say I'm low balling, but that seller got it for < rm4500 all in. He is still making rm600 blindly

Another Jumping Spider

Tajam! 👍

Nice photo!
And imho the eyes of the spider will definitely look nicer if you have a better diffuser.

True

Great find man! Not exactly a very common Jumping Spider
A nice diffuser will not only help soften the light, it can also help produce nice, different-shaped catch lights in the eyes, which are especially attractive in Jumping Spiders

Keep it up! I guess you are getting really good and hunting for Salticids already

Thanks Waiting for the outing so that I can have an idea about making myself a new diffuser.

The more I photograph these spiders the easier it became for me to find them, I guess I am slowly learning their behaviours.

Probably the rarest thing I've shot until now.

Very rare. Although some spiders feed on caterpillar, I never encounter this situation before. You are so lucky!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this, how could a little spider lift a caterpillar that's like 2 times the size of it

Welcome to the fascinating world of Nature haha
The more you go out and shoot, the more you will see how awesome some of these creatures can be!

More macro!

Big-bellied Tylorida with prey- Tylorida ventralis ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A very common spider that you can find pretty much anywhere in the wild. The males can often be seen hanging out with the females on the same web, and it is not uncommon to see them mating in public

Common Garden Lynx Spider- Oxyopes lineatipes ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A very common spider that frequents your house garden, keeping the insect populations there in check~

Like Jumping Spiders, Lynx Spiders do not use webs to capture their prey. Most of the time they just sit on or beneath foliages, waiting for oblivious prey to stop by.


Wolf Spider carrying egg sac- Pardosa sp. ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Female wolf spiders, like many other spiders, take care of their young even before they hatch, carrying them around either attaching the egg sac to its abdomen, or pushing the roundish egg sac using their pedipalps as the spider moves.

It is not uncommon to see hatchlings staying on top of the abdomen of the wolf spider, where they will stay until they are old enough to head out into the vast world.

Wahahha that Tylorida abdomen sipek niceee!

Well, its called Big-Bellied for a reason I suppose
Anyway, the diffusion is not very good

Common Four Ring- Ypthima huebneri by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A very common butterfly in Malaysia.. not sure why its called a "Four Ring" when it clearly has more than that haha...
Oh well, don't know too much about butterflies, they all look the same, and are all very hard to photograph!


Common Big-Jawed Spider- Tetragnatha mandibulata ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

The common Big-Jawed Spider is hardly a favourite for any macrographer. They are long, thin and dull-coloured, not the most interesting of subjects.

Still, these spiders are highly abundant near water bodies, and are very important biological controls in many agricultural sectors, keeping insect pests in check~

Heliocypha biforata ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Imho one of the most beautiful damselflies, Heliocypha biforata can often be found in quiet places near streams.

True true, it's just so addictive




Beautiful butterfly shot

Any idea of the ID for the following spiders?

I'm like watching National Geographic Channel in this thread.

it is, but i dont hate it at all

no one else bothers to keep this thread alive

Holy! Where did you find #2 and #3? In Kampar?
@DS_Legacy will be interested to know since his project is on these spiders

Glad that you are seeing more types of arachnids now hehe~

As for the ID:
#1- can't really tell, need more angles
#2- Leucauge decorata- Decorative Leucauge (from the family Tetragnathidae). Members of the family Tetragnathidae (commonly know as big-jawed spiedrs) are all very long and slim, and sometimes have very big jaws.
#3- Opadometa sp.- This one is very closely related to Leucauge (also from the family Tetragnathidae). Try to take a look at the 4th pair of legs (counting from the front), you will see some very beautiful comb-like bristles that are worth taking

Sorry ya guys if we spammed too much

I've recently taken some wedding/event shots, but client doesn't want to me upload their photos... so I don't really have anything else apart from macro shots
