Wa Piang!!! All your frog chio chio armani!!! Lew, Where you shoot the frog huh? Frog pond??

Paging paging for John, faster plan next trip!

Melvyn, we did some shooting at the frog pond and along the side of the road about 100 meters before and after the pond.
Thats where we got two Malayan Horned frogs, the stream frogs and the Litter frog. Our trip was handled by a Kuching Travel
Agent with a professional guide who knew where to get all the frogs, the bird of paradise, kingfishers, etc.... He had a tape recorder
to call wild birds for us to shoot......hehe....:bsmilie::bsmilie:

If I remember correctly, the agent arranged for us to stay in the bungalows in the Kubah Park itself along the road going up the hill
and drove us up the hill in a small van to the pond. So we were shooting from after dinner 8pm to 11pm.

Great adds-on. Enjoy your shots.

Love the shots especially on the pseudoscorpion #88. Too bad no full body shot of seeing them in action of tugging the insect.

Shot one before in LP wood railing but can only see it claws emerging only to hangon to another scorpion. #89 looks like there are many of them hidding and waiting in line for preys. are these shots near the chalets?

Great shots again Melvyn.

The #101 dead leaf mantis is sweet sweet one.

Yeah... they like to stay within their comfort zone and seldom venture out unless for hitchhiking. From #89 I think this species of Pseudoscorpion has no eyes and are scavenging base on feel.

The Pseudoscorpion shots were taken just outside our chalet Thanks
