Jan 2014 Macro Outing @Gunung Panti, Johor

[redlavita]

First macro post in 2014.
A group of macro gilas went to Gunung Panti, Johor for a macro shootout and was met with rain throughout the trip.
We persevered and carry on shooting and brought home some shots to share-

#1 Tiger Leech

#2 Leeches in sweet embrace.
Apologies for the noisy photo, I accidentally turned off my flash resulting in a black photo. Luckily shot in RAW and managed to recover this image.

#3 Long-Horned Orb-weaver (Macracantha arcuata)

#4 Long-Horned Orb-weaver (Macracantha arcuata)

#5 Harvestment ( Opiliones )

#6 Harvestment ( Opiliones )

#7 Harvestment ( Opiliones )

#8 No idea what this is, but it was a nice macro subject.

#9 It was raining non-stop, so shot this rain drop.
