A Common Scarlet (Crocothemis servilia ♂ imm) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Common Scarlets are very common dragonflies that can be found in grassy areas with still water. Adult males are red in colour whereas the females are yellow in colour.

Like many other dragonflies, male Common Scarlets are very territorial and will perch and guard their favourite spots. Doing this will allow the dragonfly to secure a mating partner and a good place to lay offsprings.


Green Whip Spider (Ariamnes sp. ♀) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This is probably one of the most amazing spiders of the world! Whip spiders are usually green to turquoise in colour, and have a very long abdomen which tapers off at the end. The spider can easily press its legs together so that its entire body looks like a thin thread which is very difficult for its predator to see.


Brown Twig Spider (Miagrammopes sp. ♀) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Twig Spiders are brown in colour and often position their legs together to imitate a twig.

These spiders have short, thick brushes of bristles on the terminals of legs 1 and 4, and they also appear to only have 4 eyes (rather than the usual 8!).

Unlike other Uloborid spiders, the Brown Twig Spider do not build webs but rely on a single silk line to camouflage on, and believe it or not, to catch prey!

Lynx Spider (Oxyopes lineatipes ♀) with Tiger Moth Prey by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Lynx Spiders are efficient predators that rely on speed and accuracy to hunt for prey, and they are very abundant pretty much everywhere, particularly on shrubs and low vegetations.

Lynx spiders can be easily recognized by their unique, hexagonal-positioned eyes as well as their spiny legs.

A brown skipper (Hesperiidae) sipping salt by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A common skipper butterfly resting on my arm. Apparently it was attracted to the sodium from my sweat. Most butterflies require minerals like this for proper reproduction.

The skipper stayed on my arm for a good 10 minutes before flying off (too much ajinomoto?)

Double-striped Carrhotus- Carrhotus viduus ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Probably an old individual, the characteristic "moustache" seems to be missing in this one.

The Double-striped Carrhotus is a fairly common Jumping Spider that can be found on shrubs and low vegetation. The males are usually wait on leaves or twigs for prey. However, they can be quite aggressive towards other males, often chasing and hunting down intruders.

Double-striped Carrhotus- Carrhotus viduus ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A female Double-striped Carrhotus. Although the females can be found in the same habitats as the males, they are a lot faster and jumpy.

It is also observed that this particular species of jumping spiders can jump a lot farther than average.


Mother Green-and-Red Long-Jawed Spider (Tetragnatha hasselti ♀) with egg sac by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A beautiful Tetragnatha spider which, unlike other Tetragnatha, prefers to live on foliages of trees instead. T. hasselti can also be easily recognized by their orange-green colours, providing great camouflage.

It is observed that Tetragnatha hasselti is probably the fastest among the other common Tetragnatha in Malaysia i.e. T. mandibulata and T. josephi.

Yellow caterpillar by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Moth emerging from chrysalis by Ji Tan, on Flickr

Apparently it has shed all its yellow hairs to be used as materials for its cocoon as the caterpillar metamorphosize into the moth you see above. Impressive!


Mangrove Cross Spider (Argiope mangal ♀) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A freshly moulted (likely penultimate moult) Mangrove Cross Spider! Note how beautiful the fiery orange-yellow abdomen is, and how reddish the legs are at first. However, like most other spiders, the colours tend to fade as the spider ages; the abdomen will become a lot yellower, before fading eventually to become yellowish white.

Brown Plant Hopper (Nilaparvata lugens) by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This tiny little Brown Plant Hopper is so notorious that scientists decided to give them nicknames- BPH!
BPH, despite their minute sizes, attack paddy in large numbers, causing significant to total losses. BPH is also known to transmit viruses i.e. rice ragged stunt virus and rice grassy stunt virus.

Much efforts are put in to handle this formidable agricultural pest.
