A solo visit to the Butterfly Hill at Pulau Ubin. Haven’t been shooting butts for quite a while, am not used to creeping up and doing quick focusing. End result? Not too many butts… haha. Most were out of focus while I was trying larger apertures to smoothen the…

Just when we thought we had covered every square inch of Admiralty Park, the regulars decided to venture onto a patch of thick vegetation covered by a dense canopy of trees. They called it the secret garden. Looks like a pot of wonderful unknown macro opportunities no? :PIt turned…

In Admiralty Park, you don’t really need to be able to spot the bugs. Just follow the regulars and patiently wait for them to finish their shoot, and take over the spot! lol. Well, you can also learn from them as well, just make sure you share your finds…

Another walk down the mangrove trail, to find the regulars who had been shooting since the night before! They were so engrossed with the sleeping centipede and continued shooting til almost 9am. SALUTE!!#1 Centipede sound asleep on a branch. Had a fellow shooter waving a leaf behind for a…

A quiet walk down the deserted path once again. Decided to venture further in this time, and turned back only when I stumbled into the paths of a pack of stray barking dogs. They didn’t seem to like me so I slowly retreated. >.< #1 Lynx Spider guarding...

Shield-backed bug (Cantao ocellatus) from the Scutelleridae family. Often brightly coloured and sought after by macro enthusiasts.Last in the queue as all the regulars were there early to shoot the newborns. Me with the smallest tripod. lol. It was raining, so I used handheld in the end and left…

A quiet walk down the mangrove of Admiralty Park with some AP regulars. The sighting-rate would typically be low when there’s rain in the day, so what we got was a cool, quiet night walk. Til the next hot day!!#1 Baby Huntsman Spider perched on a heart-shaped leaf#2 Oriental…

Been over a month away from shooting! Threw myself into the bushes once more in search of unique sights near my home, hope I’m not too rusty. :)For those curious about this trail, it is just an unlabeled and deserted trail just beside Republic Polytechnic at the end of…

A quiet morning walk down Admiralty Park in search for sleepy bugs. No significant finds, just the usual inhabitants of the park.#1 Termites!! Hordes of them trailing up a tree#2 Another closeup view of the termites#3 Spider drying up from morning dew#4 Ant infected by mind-controlling cordycep fungus, causes…

Woke up really early to see if I could find anything different at the neighbourhood park before sunrise. Conclusion? Nothing much! The nocturnal dudes are turning in to rest while the day dudes have not emerged yet! *mumble mumble*#1 Twig Spider busy running up and down, appears to be…

The Cyrtophora Unicolor, better known as the Red Tent Spider, had been the star of Admiralty Park for the past 3 weeks, and have been guarding its egg sac tirelessly every day and night. The regulars spotted the first batch of babies emerging the previous morning and announced it…

Made a mini adventure to Pulau Ubin to visit the Butterfly Hill. Had been hearing alot about it and finally had a chance to check it out! 🙂 Its just a short walk from the jetty if you’re going from the ferry terminal at Changi Village. Bum boat ride…
