Hi,
Went to check out Yishun Park on Sat (24 May 0 with Luenny, there were some birds, cicadas (heard but not seen), spiders and butterflies.
Sunday evening at TPTP, just managed to shoot a butterfly taking off and a very friendly spider.

Richard,
I like your spiny spider. Too bad it's cropped off a bit at the edge.

Luenny,
I was greedy lah, used the 100mm+2xTC+extension tubes to get real close. so close that it got a bit cropped off. The other pictures didn't get cropped but not as good.
Thanks. Where's your's?

Keeping fish as pets can be a rewarding hobby.
Designing and maintaining your aquariums is a wonderful creative outlet.
Watching your fish swim around is both relaxing and fun.

I think the 4 in the center and the 2 at the sides are the eyes. Funny though, I thought they have 8 eyes. Or maybe this species only have 6 like some species of spiders do.
