Night Macro Lower Peirce 3 Aug 2013


After another round of setting up my lighting, I was ready to go macro shooting again..
This was done late after midnight at Lower Peirce Reservoir.

It's not everyday that one gets to spot a stick insect...
2 were spotted on the same night along the trail..




Venus Drive Solo Afternoon Macro 10 Aug 2013


It was a lazy afternoon with the threat of dark clouds hovering over the entire Singapore..
I couldn't think of a better place to go for day macro except Venus Drive.

Mating Couples at Venus Drive 6th March 2012


Venus Drive on a hot afternoon has nothing much except some medium sized spiders and the mating fly species shown on the first picture. ( Identified from Frederick Ho's blog as the Micropezid Fly aka Mimegralla Albimana )

It must be mating season for this species as many mating couples was seen on the leaves, doing it in the open in clear view of predators.

I guess when it's mating season, the urge to mate supersedes the need to survive...
Or perhaps the importance of survival as a species supersedes the importance of survival as an individual.
