Final Visits to Mandai Orchid Garden

The Mandai Orchid Garden lease would be up in 2011. We’re not sure if it would still be around after that, so the Macromaniacs made this place their latest shootout location. Still in abundance of macro subjects, but weather was so hot that we spent more time idling in the shade than hunting for bugs.

#1 Spotted this long legged fly sucking from what looked like shit on the leaf

#2 Kissing the ground (leaf) you walk on

#3 It is also extremely sensitive to flash. Each shot had it perking up suddenly, resulting in blurry pictures (Used faster shutter for this one)

#4 Garden resident bathing in the morning sun

#5 Side profile

#6 Mating black assassin bugs, in very awkward position and kept moving!

#7 Turning around again and again

#8 A shot from the top

#9 A look to the sky!

#10 Big Joe meets Little Joe
