Merlion Wayfarer always loved shooting Jumpers - Because they make photogenic subjects with their reflective round eyes. With the Raynox recommended by a fellow nature shooter, those captivating eyes are made even more enticing.
Here are the ones spotted at Lower Peirce last Sunday:
- Telamonia Dimidiata (Two-Striped Telamonia) Male
This was a shy male. It kept hiding on the side of the boardwalk away from the traffic. After some time, it jumped onto a nearby plant and hid under a leaf for some time. Quite a bit of patience required for it to turn into a nice photo subject...
Look how beautifully it arches its legs as if walking on tiptoe...
A curious look into the lens...
Finally relaxing a bit...
- Epeus Flavobilineatus (Yellow-Lined Epeus) Male
This curious little one played kept looking at the lens...
It got a bit distracted here with its eyes looking in different directions...
This was the last shot before it got too curious and jumped towards Merlion Wayfarer! Fast move siah....
Merlion Wayfarer also spotted an orb-weaver with a cotton wool nest. The brown parts appear to be its eggs...
And then there was the Nephilengys Malabarensis (Malabar Spider) well-hidden in the shadows savouring a traped Katydid...
See how it is munching at its breakfast!
