oh dear, you guys are so good at trying to detract from the issue. I have no idea who this TrueNatureLover is, though if he is the same person who allegedly damaged a woodpecker's nest, I think he's not doing right. As for the bird's location, I think a good case can be made that this is...

Hello, just a note (from an individual who witnessed questionable practices at Pasir Ris Park) to highlight the acts of some so-called nature photographers. I'd hope it's not anyone active here. :) Birders Behaving Badly « G33k5p34k excerpt: "The last straw came, however, when the pitta...

Dear lankyal, your suggestion of using worms is troubling. That sounds like baiting. Do refer to the concerns raised in the Nature Society's guidelines for photography, from http://www.nss.org.sg/documents/NSSEthics.pdf : Unethical and Illegal Activities Do not feed wildlife to encourage them...

should be great-billed heron, see Bird Ecology Study Group, Nature Society (Singapore): Hunting techniques of Great-billed Heron

It's a wasp, family Stephanidae.

should be this http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/spiders/text/Tetragnatha_mandibulata.htm or this http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/spiders/text/Tetragnatha_josephi.htm

king cobras are found here too, see http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/nis/bulletin2011/2011nis143-156.pdf

It should be this species http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/snakes/white-bellied_rat_snake.htm which is not uncommon in the area. Whether or not you hate snakes, they are part of the ecosystem and shooters have to keep a respectful eye out for them day and night.

the green metalwing damselfly is extinct in Singapore. Thanks to the construction of the BKE which destroyed its last local habitat.

could be this species, http://www.flickr.com/photos/coleoptera-us/2958612825/in/set-72157622734452544/

These ant mimics are from a different family from the jumping spiders, see http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/spiders/text/Castianeira.htm

you are welcome. this kind of fight seems not too uncommon at night (i seen 3 cases already). Maybe should stay back and see the conclusion. Seems the tiny pseudoscorpion's venom is strong enough to 'paralyse' the bigger scorpion, and it's strong enough to grip and hold on the tug of war. Maybe...

notice the tiny claw on the right. Looks like the bigger scorpion got caught by a pseudo-scorpion (or a few, as the pseudoscorpions live in groups). They lack stinging tails but pseudoscorpions have venom glands in their claws and are very strong for their size, see...

the orange insects are barklice (Psocoptera). Sometimes found on tree trunks in groups grazing on algae: http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent425/compendium/psocop~1.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psocoptera

I think the species you found should be Cicindela aurulenta, see http://www.eol.org/pages/3463491 and http://tolweb.org/images/Carabidae/8895. Cicindela ocellata is found in North America, not Asia, as the website you referenced would suggest (http://insects.tamu.edu/fieldguide/bimg129.html). a...

Possibly Theridula caudata, http://www.flickr.com/photos/labah-labah/5319651899/

suspect no. 1 is a species of rove beetle, while 2nd is a beetle larva.

Looks like a quite big fella. Maybe is this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ehktang/2522559737/ I think they look like gorillas.
