This black and long-bodied Myrmarachne is easily recognised by its unusually long pedicel, measuring more than 1/3 of the length of its carapace. There are lateral white bands delineating the division between the cephalic (head) and thoracic parts of the carapace.

Also known as Long Green Crab Spider, Oxytate can be recognised in the field as green thomisids with an elongated abdomen, flat cephalothorax, and prominent tubercles bearing the lateral eyes. They often rest or wait in ambush under leaves with legs 1 and 2 stretched forward. This crab spider lost his right leg 1.
Crab spider is a common name applied loosely to many species of spiders, but most nearly consistently to members of the family Thomisidae. Among the Thomisidae it refers most often to the familiar species of "flower crab spiders", though not all members of the family are limited to ambush hunting in flowers.
Bothrogonia is a genus of leafhopper with a large number of species distributed across the Old World. They can be told apart from others in their tribe by the pattern of setae on the hind tibia.
Silana farinosa (Boheman) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was recorded for the first time defoliating leaves of Murraya koenigii Thw. (Rutaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia. The beetles spent their entire lives on the leaves. A female laid and average of 3 ootheca containing an aevrage of 12 eggs per ootheca. The incubation period was 5.5 days. There were five instars that lasted for 18 days. The pupal period lasted for 5 days. Adults lived for about 45 days.

On our travels across the country we noticed one thing. People were more welcoming of strangers in smaller towns than in cities. We would get invited into houses, people would gladly pose and smile for us, they would get excited seeing us and even share their food with us.
On a Chinese New Years day last year, we drive down to Klang to shoot some photographs. On our way we ended up seeing a truck full of lion dancers heading somewhere and decided to follow them. When they turned into this old restaurant, we were hesitant to get down and shoot.
The owners gave us welcoming smiles and let us shoot. It was definitely a good start to the day.
Driving further down, I found a row of old government quarters which were probably built even before independence. I got down and walked around to find some kids running around. I had been tranxfised by the blue and yellow walls, but the moment I saw the children, I wanted to photograph them.
They came running towards me and as I looked up at their mother, she shyly gave me a smile nodding her approval. So I spent the next few minutes talking to the children and just shooting them. After a while they got bored of me and walked back to their homes. That’s when I got this photograph.
Where else in the city, we could risk getting beaten up and scolded for shooting normal folks on the streets. Female or male, everyone is looked at warily.
Maybe we’ve lost the sense of trust. We readily smile at foreigners but don’t extend the same to our fellow countrymen. Indeed there’s a need to be street smart but we can do with a little trust and smile to the next stranger we pass.
As they say smiles are infectious.

The Cassidinae (tortoise and leaf-mining beetles) are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. It includes both the former subfamily "Hispinae" (leaf-mining beetles), as well as the former more narrowly defined subfamily Cassidinae (familiar as tortoise beetles) which are now split into several tribes that include the tribe Cassidini, and in all include over 125 genera. The traditional separation of the two groups was based essentially on the habitats of the larvae and the general shapes of the adults. The name Cassidinae for the merged subfamily is considered to have priority.

Caterpillar is the common name for the larvae of members of the order Lepidoptera (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths). As with most common names, the application of the word is arbitrary and the larvae of sawflies commonly are called caterpillars as well.
Caterpillars of most species are herbivorous, but not all; some are insectivorous, even cannibalistic. Some feed on other animal products; for example clothes moths feed on wool, and horn moths feed on the hooves and horns of dead ungulates.
Caterpillars as a rule are voracious feeders and many of them are among the most serious of agricultural pests. In fact many moth species are best known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce, whereas the moths are obscure and do no direct harm. Conversely, various species of caterpillar are valued as sources of silk, as human or animal food, or for biological control of pest plants.
The first legs are well-developed and equipped with feathery bristles. I found this male jumper on the ground, among grasses and forest undergrowth. It measures about 4mm. It is also known as Hairy-Armed Jumper.
