Nice little stinker.
Next week I have to make a trip to Singapore to renew my Visa. I see they have a very nice botanic garden. I'm hoping to have time to go there with my camera!!

Matt, the last spider photo is gorgeous. Fantastic composition and execution. Showed it here to my employees who have been watching this month's Bug-Off closely!!

Hi from Singapore. I spent the afternoon at Singapore Botanical Gardens. Hope I got a few good ones. I came across this dragon. This photo is with iphone. All I had with me was the macro lens. What would you have done? Would you have gotten close? I went around the other side and got within a meter! Hope the photo turns out.

I know it's not a bug but I shot this while I was shooting bugs in Singapore.
Here is the komodo dragon that I ran across in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. All I had with me was my macro lens, so I had to get very close. My heart was racing, and after I took the photos and stepped away I was out of breath. I have no idea if dragons bite, but ignorance breeds fear!
