Some Macro at Cinta Alam
During the weekend trip I had the chance to do a little bit of macro, I did wonder into the trees but there were just too many mosquitoes...and damn they were hungry.
I had a little look around the compound but there weren't many subjects and it was super hot..I was of course using the cangih milk bottle diffuser!
The kitchen towel at the front was torn though so it was a little bit harsh, I might try two layers next time for extra diffusion..am out of practise too. Anyway here's what I managed to come up with.
Tiny Grasshopper

Shiny Spider

Long Legs

Colourful Fly, there was a blue one, red one, green one and this gold-ish one.

Green Damselfly

Fruit Fly or Wasp?

Soft Beauty

That's all for now!

Went out with a few guys for bug chasing in Taman Tun! Just behind the temple at Taman Rimba Kiara, sadly there was a downpour the WHOLE night before so the place was soaked and the bugs were pretty scarce.
Half of the group got bored and went somewhere else instead.
But we stuck it out and found some really interesting stuff, namely the largest robber fly I've ever seen, a few decent spiders and 5-6 different varieties of Dragonfly!

Some nature shots from FRIM - April 7th, 2007
There's some very nice shots in there.
It was a lovely sunny day to explore the forest, a little humid though.

We almost didn't spot this scary looking fella as he blended into the undergrowth, he looks a bit like an alien!

We called this log federal highway, termites again (I think?)
