New Found - A Hairy Jumping Spider 2

previously I found a hairy jumping at Petaling Jaya, Selangor , Malaysia and discuss @ New Found - a Hairy Jumping Spider. But after I met this one from Kota Kinabalu park.. then the previous one become so hairless ....

I found a lantern bug but let it flew off.. then I was trying to find another one nearby ( ... :( )
... with my help of my wife and Jie Xi . Instead lantern bug , my wife found a real big and hairy jumping spider ... and I spent ~an hour on this jumping spider alone...


here are few angle to capture this beauty ...






shoot this @1:1 with MP-E65 .. I would say easily 20mm at long side

Other - something on my body 2

last 2 weeks ago, I found a damselfly with mites on it's body ... which I feel real sad and pain for the damselfly .. and the mites is big and can easily view by human eye

yesterday , I found a tiny jumping spider (~>5mm long)... trying to figure why it is orange color (and thought it is poisonous due to the color)... but I am wrong after the 1st picture snap








what do you feel while you see this ??? and think without a MACRO len, we may not able to see this as it is too small to be observe ..... so let's MACRO :D
