A teeny Portia labiata, can't believe I finally have some to photograph after all these years. #bugsky #arachnid #jumping #spiders #macro #nature

Phrynichus orientalis, sometimes called the Giant Cave Whip Spiders which is a bit of a mouthful. Tailless whip scorpions/spiders are neither, they belong to their own order among arachnids, Amblypygi. #macro #bugsky #spiders #scorpion #arachnids

A young Euchomenella heteroptera, the Giraffe necked mantis from Indonesia. #mantis #prayingmantis #insects #bugsky #macro

Copiphora gracilis, a fearsome katydid. #grasshopper #cricket #bugsky #katydid #insect #nature #macro #wildlife #photography

Ornithoctoninae sp. “Vietnam Silver” out for a stroll. The colour and sheen on this species is surreal. #arachnids #spiders #tarantulas #bugsky #macro #nature #wildlife

A nice group of Orestes subcilyndricus "Vietnam", 3 females and 2 males, their patterns and colour develop with each moult, can't wait to watch them grow further. #bugsky #stickbug #phasmid #insects #macro #nature

Talk about a result, I didn't think pairing my Stenophylla lobivertex was successful as I never saw the male and female actually connect, but lo and behold 16 teeny tiny dragons have hatched from the ooth :D #macro #nature #wildlife #mantis #insect #bugsky #breeding #preyingmantis #prayingmantis

Peruphasma schultei "Cordillera del Condor", another beautiful phasmid from Peru. #wildlife #insect #nature #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #bugsky #macro #photography

Autolyca herculeana "Tegucigalpa", one of the most stunning phasmids to reach captive culture in recent years. As their bright colouration warns, they have a strong chemical defence sprayed from behind their heads. #wildlife #insect #nature #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #bugsky #macro #photography

The spectacular Gonometa nysa, a lappet moth from Africa. The males have this lovely burgandy colour on the wings hiding a brilliant metallic blue abdomen. The caterpillars are gigantic and covered in sharp spines which are like fibre glass to the touch. #moths #insects #bugsky #macro #nature

Some unknown (at least to me) tree frog tadpoles photographed in a pond at the #EdenProject a few years back. #amphibians #frogs

Green tree pythons have to be one of those most beautiful snakes on the planet. Here yellow and rarer red phase "Biak" juveniles, they eventually turn a vibrant green. #indonesia #snake #python #reptile #herps #exoticpet #wildlife #photography #nature
