Photos of tropical butterfly from either the Pieridae or Riodinidae family. Exact genus is unknown. The butterfly species is cream in colour with occasional orange patches and a few pansy eyes.

The striking element of this butterfly is it's thorax and abdomen which has black horizontal stripes.

Kota Kinabalu waterfront scene

A sea view from the Marina Court Apartment. Nice view, nice rental. Back to the photo, a lone yacht anchoring at Likas Bay (Kota Kinabalu waterfront). At the background is the Kampung Air (or water village) at Pulau Gaya.

Click photo for enlarge image.

If you view the large size image, you will actually see the yacht installed with solar panels. I guessed they need the power for night lighting.

Wasp spider of Borneo - Argiope bruennichi

Take a look at the photos below of Wasp spider. The yellow, black and white spider is also known as Argiope bruennichi. The Wasp spider is also similar to Saint Andrews Cross spider (sp. Argiope keyserlingii).

I know spider has unique set of eyes but I just couldn't get closer to really have zero macro shoot of the eyes. Spider bites, so I avoid the risk.

About Wasp spider |

Argiope bruennichi, or the wasp spider, is a species of orb-web spider distributed throughout central Europe, Northern Europe, north Africa and parts of Asia. Like many other members of the genus Argiope, (including St Andrew's Cross spiders), it shows striking yellow and black markings on its abdomen.

The spider builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects.

When a prey item is first caught in the web, Argiope bruennichi will quickly immobilise its prey by wrapping it in silk. The prey is then bitten and then injected with a paralysing venom and a protein dissolving enzyme.

The male of the species is much smaller than the female. It can often be seen in or near a female's web waiting for her to complete her final moult, at which time she reaches sexual maturity. At this time and her chelicerae (jaws) will be soft for a short time and the male may mate with the female without the danger of being eaten.

During Summer 2006, research was carried out in the UK to find that there has been an influx of these spiders to the UK. The colour is still similar, although the yellow stripes are a bit more cream coloured.

Some plant pictures - part 2

Here are some plant pictures that were taken this past summer in MN...

Taken in "soft light" a young plant struggles in its search for sunlight in the undergrowth.

A lily.

An apple tree branch in bloom. A bright, blue sky serves as a background.

Some new pine tree branches emerging from their "casings".

This picture of a jagged-edged leaf is somewhat over-exsposed.

White isn't the only color flower you get when an apple tree blooms.

Tropical Giant Locust, Series #2

This is the second series on tropical locust, but not just locust, it's a giant locust measuring over six inches from tip of its feelers to tip of its tail.

It's take me two attempts to photograph this locust (which happen to linger at my backyard). My first attempt to photograph failed when it flew away on my first shot.

Our moon...

Is a one picture post allowed on here? I hope it is since that is what this post is going to be. I took this picture this past March - so it was a while ago - and recently cropped it, something that I usually don't like to do to my images. When I saw the result of cropping it I had to post it here, with no "WP Nature Photography" words over it to obscure the details, to show a photograph of our moon that I didn't know that I could capture. Look at those craters!

Tropical locust

Close up shot of a green locust with black top. The locust is green because it is in tropical Borneo. In other places, it would be brownish (desert locust). And yes, tropical locust doesn't ravage crops (swarming of crops) like in Africa or Europe because over here, we have plenty of leaves.

Locust belong to the insect family Acrididae.
