Interesting looking bug, #2, any idea what it is? Nice red hopper too, have not seen one in this colour before.

Good control over DOF and exposure as usual man, only #1 I feel slightly under.

Nice shots Edsel. #4 would be better with some highlight on the bug.

Nicely done Sgt. Pepper... not overly sharpened... just right!

 

[tchuanye]

What is that insect behind the caterpillar?

That looks like the skin of the Atlas Moth caterpillar that has just moulted. Edsel caught it at the right time when it had just shed its "clothes".

Nice shots, Ed. Heard you are having tougher times getting a "visa" to go out for shoots on weekends? :bsmilie:

Here's the "Dressed" version of the Atlas moth, about 30 mins before it undressed. Too bad I didnt witnessed the scene. ;p

The first 3 were taken at Pulau Ubin, last 2 were taken at Khatib Bongsu.

I've manage to find similar bug Here but it doesn't give me an idea what it is. Anybody can translate? :think:

Think it's in russian. Anyway, it translates to a yellow bug.

I've got some questions, i always think that f2.8/ f3.2 will give you the best macro shot as it will have blur background. But got sgt. pepper case, he is using a f16, f13..etc..

I seemed to have missed this post. :bsmilie: The yellow bug is commonly called a weevil or snout beetle. It belongs to the Curculionidae family of beetles. They are herbivorous in nature and some of their cousins in this family are considered pests. The distinct feature of this family of beetles is their pointed and curved snout. However, in this pic, the snout was not shown clearly. If you happen to see them, go for the nose!

The other interesting pic with the caterpillar and a predateous beetle larvae. I think the beetle larvae was trying to tackle the cat but found it too big to deal with. Cant id the larvae till it develops into an adult.

Good shots! :thumbsup:
