Macro–Jumping Spider with prey

I brought back this jumping spider to my home because I’m unable to shot this spider on location. Why? Because there’s too much mosquito on that area and I did not prepare for it lol. So I put inside a plastic container and catch a mosquito to feed it at night then I take out my dslr and shoot it when it’s eating the prey. I have so much fun and exited watching the spider catching the prey flying around the plastic container. The Jumping spider did not move much after the mouth is full with food..lol. Enjoy the rest of the pics.

 

All picture were shot with Tamron SP AF90 attach with Raynox DCR-250. So the magnification of all the picture is around 2:1 if I’m not mistaken.

This picture actually taken last year during Penang Butterfly Insect showcase last year at 2010. Found it at the entrance from the car park outside. Most people would assume this is a spider but actually it’s an Ants mimic spider species. I do not know what is the family name or scientific name coz I’m not an expert in this sort of stuff..lol.

Macro–Red Weaver Ants

Even though the weaver ant’s is a little bit our of focus, but I still upload it to my flickr because I like the lighting and colors contrast between the ant’s and the green leaf. It make this picture wonderful. I do not have much picture of weaver ant’s but hopefully I will able to get some decent shot one day and share with you guys.

Macro–Black Spiky Ants eating

Shot this beautiful Black Spiky Ants. I do not know the ants is eating when I’m shooting, only I knew when I open it at my laptop for post processing. I would have no chance to shoot this ant's because they area actually not a very good models. They move around non stop..lol. At the picture you can see the leaf below is bending, that’s because I use my other finger to bend the leaf and move it closer to my lens to shoot.

Macro–My first Giraffe Weevil

Yosh, finally I’ve got my first Giraffe Weevil, even though I only manage to get 1 acceptable shot, but then I’m happy it’s got into my collection.

The male Giraffe Weevil has a long neck then the female. Actually I’ve shot the female but the subject is totally out of focus so I delete it lol. You can see the video below which I shot 1 week before where I totally could not get near the Giraffe Weevil because it was too far and I only manage to shot video of its.

3 Giraffe Weevil out of my reach!

And so there you hope you enjoy 1 of my pics and hopefully there’s more Giraffe Weevil to be captured… (in my dslr of coz) lol. Cheers
