Derbid Bug

[tchuanye]

Was at lower pierce yesterday evening and saw this fella under a leaf, thought it was a crab spider until I review it in the LCD. Different from previous derbid I saw with V-shape wings. This had a horizontal span.

Very interesting in that despite their odd wing shape and positions, they were still wonderfully designed and created to fly!

those are gorgeous. and the intricacy of the insect's wings and parts just blew me away.

btw the camera you are using is a P & S right? wow i hope i can one day achieve such topnotch standards with my S5.
i think i might need to invest on a flash system soon hehe

amazing, i can't even dream of taking such shots with my dslr and extension tubes.
they're always out of focus or blur due to handshake.

Thanks!

The S5 is possible to shoot such macros. Fellow expert Macro shooter Mendis occassionaly shoots with these. E.g.: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mendistan/3130215645/
and many more at his Flickr site.
