I've learned so much about insects and spiders here.

That's why N.G. Channel

i didn't say it is bad spamming spider
i am actually okay for seeing spider... maybe cats next time :3

Wahhh nice shots you got on the rare spiders!
Where did you photograph these spiders?

That Opadometa is really nice leh. Wish to photograph one in the future.

This reminds me of the stray cats that loiter around at my house. Should really go and photograph them someday.

Cute Kitten 1 by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Moar cats!

Kampar cats all so ugly

Nice one! Apart from the comments given in FB, I have another non-constructive one (hope you don't mind lol)
Maybe can ask Queensley to change her hairstyle next time, the current one makes her look like she is losing hair

Anyway, she is really improving in her facial expression, no more laughing XD
Good work, keep it up man~

thanks for the info regarding the spiders

Haha too bad I didn't shot them in kampar, I shot them back in the last sem break at FRIM which is really close to my house (i'm from KL)


Nice collection of pussies *opps* I mean cats there

Meow cat

Awwww I thought u shot them in Kampar.
Anyway, nice meow photo. It is a tortoiseshell cat with a coat coloring found almost exclusively in female cats, so called because of the similarity to the tortoiseshell. I saw one here in Kampar too.

hehe i will be travelling back to kl this sem break and shoot at FRIM again, wanna join?

woah you even know info of cats?

If I am free, sure can join you. Thanks for the invitation!
You will eventually know more about them if you take biology-related course for your degree. Biodiversity and genetics subjects will cover a bit about the common living organisms. So, we get to know some of them.

Luminosity masking is so fun

Aiya, if only there were here
FRIM is a pretty good place to go shooting, provided you know where to look for the bugs

Tiger moth by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A very common moth that people don't really bother seeing or photographing. These moths can be found on open patches of flowers in gardens or parks.


Weaver ant holding on- Oecophylla smaragdina by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Kerangga ants build their nests using leaves, and inside is where the queen will reside. In order to keep the nest intact, some ants have to use their bodies and fangs to connect and hold pieces of leaves in place.

These ants show extremely high level of discipline and will not move a single bit even when disturbed.

Fly extending proboscis by Ji Tan, on Flickr

It is reported that the extension of a proboscis in Drosophila is associated with brain movement. I wonder what this fly was thinking about, if it was thinking at all!

Bianor cf. angulosus ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This particular spider has exceedingly long and well-developed legs 1, and is closely related to Harmochirus.

Found this one staying on plants that are dangerously close to water.


Mother Siler semiglaucus guarding her eggs by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Inside, the mother will patiently care for her eggs, guarding them from predators.

A Lynx Spider- Hamataliwa sp.(?) ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A fairly large lynx spider, probably waiting for prey to land near it. Wasn't expecting to find a Lynx spider that's not an Oxyopes in the garden lol.

Brown Plume Moth (Pterophoridae) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Looks like a Brown Plume Moth sucking sap from a leaf.

Despite being one of the weirdest-looking moths I have ever seen, plume moths are very common. These moths have uniquely developed wing structures that look like skeletons; its amazing how they can still fly like this. Apparently these structures are supposed to make them look like dead leaves, camouflaging them from predators.


Pill millepede (Oniscomorpha) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Ahhh, the good O' pill millepede, I remembered when during our childhood years, whenever we see a pill millepede, there was only one thing to do- disturb it!

Upon disturbance, the millepede will quickly roll itself into a "ball", and we would let it roll here and there. Come to think of it, we were quite cruel during that time @@


Heavy huntsman spider- Thelcticopis sp. ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Heavy huntsman spiders can be differentiated from the usual, Heteropoda huntsmen by their larger body size and shorter legs.

Juveniles of this spider are known to hide among foliage in silk retreats during the day, making them easy to be mistook for Pisaurids or even Clubionids.
