One of the very cool Planthoppers we see regularly in the Sumatran Rainforest. Don't they have gorgeous ornate markings! So pretty!

Me after I've stuffed my face with too much chocolate! These are the most photogenic frogs though... seriously! Happy Frog Friday 🐸💚🐸

One of the sought-after subjects for macro photography while in Singapore. These gorgeous orb-weavers have quite a variance of colour morphs depending on location. I've seen both a red and yellow morph but this one seems to be somewhere in the middle.

We spotted a few clusters of these Sawfly Larvae on our walks on the Annual Buggers weekend away. Cute how they feed in rows. 💚

One of the cleverest ambush predators of the arachnid world. These spiders lie in wait, usually on flowers and wait for pollinators like bees or flies to visit the flowers. They don't stand much of a chance against these awesome predators. Happy Thomisidae Tuesday!

🆔 Spectacular Crab Spider (Thomisus spectabilis)

Recently on our Annual Members weekend we spotted this gorgeous collection of freshly emerged True Bugs. They had just hatched and are still sticking closeby to their eggs. In the next day or so they will start to disperse into the big bad bug world.

One of our regularly seen jumpers sitting at an all you can eat buffet of bug eggs. Imagine the delight this spider felt when she stumbled across this plate of eggs. She was so happy having a late morning brunch. Happy Salticidae Sunday! ◉ ◉◉ ◉

Recently on a Let's Go Buggin Night Walk we had a sudden appearance of this species. It's like they fell out of the trees and were on the ground! Perhaps it was mating season? The next night they were gone! Very curious!

🆔 Wolf Huntsman Spider (Yiinthi lycodes)

One of the last of his kind to be seen this season. This stunning Creek Frog posed perfectly for me... before he jumped away and never to be seen again! 🤣 You to you boo! Happy Frog Friday! 🐸💚🐸

Spider verses Spider... clearly the Jumping Spider was the winner of this kill or be killed contest! They are the bravest little hunters and we often see them with prey on the morning walks, especially in the winter months.
