Great shots! :thumbsup:

Thanks William!

Beautiful shots :thumbsup: , Nicky.

It was lucky spotting as I thought the 1st portia was a fat JS with white face. After that, I keep sneezing during the shoot ah. May be the 1st one attracted the 2nd portia to come near us after hearing my sneezing whole day long. too bad the weather turns dark and forces us to leave, otherwise we spend more time with 2nd portia.

Thanks David, all thanks to your sneezes! Hope you're better when u got home. The rain started just as I got into the car. lol

Hi, your photos are tack sharp :thumbsup:
I especially like "#3 Baby Robberfly"

Thanks snowc!

Hey NIcky, what a series. You have really outdone yourself today. So many different bugs, but the baby robber has to be the pick for quality of pic.

Swee++++! Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a trip to Mandai is forthcoming!

Thanks boss, advantage of going in group, each person find one subject gao liao! Mandai parking still sucks leh, we had 2 cars, just nice.

#5 is a very lovely shot... great composition, colors and lighting :thumbsup:

Thanks Vincent! Portia was completely covered by the flash diffusers. Must've felt comfortable in the shade and didn't move. lol

It took me a long time to spot my first 2 Portia...

We all had fun gathering in a circle around Elite's bag...not for BBQ
but to shot the Portia

Nice series.. esp the Portia's shots

Lucky day, maybe the 2nd portia was attracted to the first one leh?
