thanks joe, instead of cropping the standard photo to look pano view, I did 2 shots and stitched them together to minimise the lose in resolution/pic quality

Looks like a pretty version of stink bug or shield bug for #1. Excellent details and vibrance!

Seeing #2... does that mean we'll see more babies soon? Uncle James will be so busy busy

I was there for doing the early morning (3am) shoot today...it will be good if u have a small UV torch to help locating them. Its quite difficult to spot them if you r hunting it with a normal torch as these guys camouflage itself very well

thanks JC...these spiders are very good at making themselves look like a twig. Hard to spot them if turn twig like hanging in mid air by a tiny web

Have not seen this bug before and infact i spotted it from a distance due to its vibrant colors and quite cooperative throughout the shootings...

wish i could see how the babies of this twig spiders look like but its not there anymore when we were there for the early morning shoot today....
