73] This is one of my PRIZED catch of this trip. A Cicada with unique shape and color. The best thing is I found it in a toilet in the park. At first glance I thought its a cockroach. It has wings that look like moth.

These are the pictures taken in the early morning on our Last Day of stay before checking out at noon. We had about 2 - 3 hrs of shooting time before heading back to the chalet to pack our stuffs....

74] Went back to same site where the White LBs are. Spotted One of them came down to a lower position for a closer shot. I guess it might have came down lower and closer still after we left .... haha

79] Surprise find at the minute after we had already dismantled and packed our gears. Borrowed a 105mm with my D200, rushed 200m upslope and did some quickie shots of these beautiful snake.
It seems to have a tail that mimic a cobra head.
