Bug with spiky legs - Series #2

This photo post is the second series on bug with spiky legs.

The photos here was much better as compare to the one in the first series. As for the bug, I only managed two shots. Two shots and it's gone, disappeared among the leaves.

Tropical yellowish caterpillar - Series #5

This is the fifth series on caterpillars, i.e tropical yellowish (or pale yellow) caterpillar. These caterpillars were found to have infested our Longan tree. At least 11 of those caterpillars were plucked from the Longan leaves and destroyed after the photo shoot.

This specimen of yellowish caterpillar with red head is roughly 2 inches long.

Bug with spiky legs

A photo of a bug with spiky legs. I was unable to take the photo from the top or side as the bug is extremely conscious of it surrounding. That's why I only manage to get shots of this bug from underneath.

Tropical green caterpillar - Series #2

This is the second series on caterpillar, i.e tropical green caterpillar. The black spot on the right looks like an eye but it's fake to trick predator. The fake eyes look intimidating to fend of predator and the caterpillar head is actually tiny.


Cropped photo. Caterpillar photo taken with flash.



Uncropped photo. The caterpillar photo is not so sharp due to poor lighting. It's was late in the afternoon.

Tropical big green leave cutter caterpillar

Tropical big green leave cutter caterpillar. I'm not sure which end of the caterpillar is the head or the tail. The end with the spike or horn might be the head and the spots at the tail is the fake eyes to trick predator.

After the photo of the caterpillar was taken, the caterpillar was unceremoniously cut into two by my mum because it was destroying her crop (yam ~ dioscorea).
