Thanks man!
Damselflies and dragonflies are quite easy to photograph, thanks to their territorial behaviour They (especially the males) tend to guard their territory, so even if you disturb them, they will almost always return to the same exact spot, giving you plenty of chance to better your shot The same applies to robberflies, another favourite for macrographers

until now i still haven't meet even one robberfly

They are always around, you just need to know where to find them
You only need someone to show you how to find one particular insect/subject/animal once, then they will be very easy to find liao haha

yeah lol, but no kaki around me might be going to FRIM again these few days, any particular spiders you want me to shoot? haha

I think I have almost all of the spiders available there, but @DS_Legacy might need your help to collect some, if you dare to
Heard that they will be heading there as well soon

Just went there last Sunday. Found Leugauge sp. and Gasteracantha sp.

Will definitely go there again in 2-3 weeks time. Ayam gonna collect for you.

oh alright, i'll just shoot whatever I found haha

The route going downhill along the waterfall there got a lot. You will see a lot here

Found this spider in FRIM. Don't know whether she is a Leucauge sp. or Opadometa sp.
Should work on my diffuser again. This one is not good.

Oh... Which area ? 😅

In the trophical forest biodiversity centre. There is a small waterfall after the canopy wall. There is a route downhill there. Lotsa insects and spiders to photograph.

Second pic with diffuser ? How is the results without flash ? Btw which cam and lens nice pics.

Thanks man! Appreciate that very much.
Both with diffuser and flash. You cannot shoot macro without a proper flash. Really important. D5300 with AF-S 50mm and 12mm extension tube.

Yea the body is actually quite good, i still do most my product shoot with it. Most my car shots also still using it. Only for paid jobs I use the d600

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

This spider is undoubtedly one of the most bizarre and beautiful out there due to its brilliant colours and of course, the two long protruding abdominal spines.

As wonderful as they may be, I am always amazed at how this particular species of spider (along with those of the genus Gasteracantha) manages to survive in the wild- although tough, the weird abdominal shapes actually hinders their movements significantly. The relatively short legs mean that they cannot really handle larger preys and have to rely very heavily on their large web constructions for food.

A fecund Common Garden Spider- Parawixia dehaani ♀ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

The Common Garden Spider is not exactly very "common" to most people, simply because these spiders only come out during the night, where they wait on the centre of their large webs for prey .


During the day, the spider will abandon its web (without destroying it), and hide on or inside nearby tree leaves.


Common Bush Cricket- Nisitrus sp. by Ji Tan, on Flickr

An upclose, face shot of a Common Bush Cricket, showing its large, rounded eyes and mouthparts (mandible, maxilla, labium).


These moderately large and colourful crickets can be found in forest parks and gardens, chewing away on leaves of many plants.

An Ocher Satinwing- Euphaea ochracea ♂ by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This beautiful male damselfly is grouped under the Satinwing family Euphaeidae, displaying stout and relatively short bodies.

This particular species of damselflies are not uncommon, but are generally localized, preferring less disturbed areas near streams.


Butterfly that looks like two by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This butterfly looked like two butterflies mating, and I fell for it!
