raining morning and if I am at some where I can find some bugs sure I will go our to look for some with dews on their face … look cool 😀
and if you are lucky …
Juvenile Peninsula Pit Viper … it hiding from us well where we stand few feet away but yet to spot it till another group of tourist shoot it real close … only we found out this beautiful snake where we shouldn’t get close …
especially Juvenile , some expert believe they are at stage where do not know how to control the venomous.. when they hit you mean they will release 100% of the venomous which will be more dangerous than the adult …
not many love them or most of us hate them … they destroy, bite … etc … but when we look close there are cute
this is good of MACRO photography , let we look thing differently … not only photography but we should look every at different angle before conclude
anyone love mosquito ? think in Malaysia we scare of it due to the Dengue … which kill a lot peoples in Malaysia …
No my first time but 2nd time found a mosquito biting non human.. the 1st time was a frog …
and last week, I able to witness another Mosquito biting a lizard ….
a mosquito is biting a Giant or Great Angle Head Lizard, gonocephalus grandis
I witness a ant-mimic male guide or seem protect the female .. I was observe it (~10-15min) hope for something interesting happen among the male A (with tag) and female
but suddenly another male (Male B) turn up and try to fight with the male (it happen so fast (<1-2s) and they end up at this position …
after the Male A got kill, male B look at the female for a while outside the web … but the female just run away …. (even before I can try to give her a close up shot)

I was there (drive ~20km) for a robberfly which I met one day before (and I don;t have my macro gears with me)…
but accidentally found this Ant-mimic for me .. never see this type … and not only new found but I witness an amazing moment … the both male fight for something !!!!!… (will share the other picture to show what it fight for later … need to little stack work on that)
and the moment they fight …
not a most beautiful ant-mimic that I saw before but this is a beautiful one too …
