It's my first visit to Rimba Ampang since it's reopening some time ago. I noticed there are no more bird watchers as there used to be. It opens at 8:00 am and there's a symbolic entrance fee of RM1.00 and a reasonable parking fee of RM2'00. I'm willing to pay RM5.00 entrance fee if they can really clean up the place from the rubbish and put up some sign boards to educate the public about cleanliness and preserving nature. To do that they will probably have to educate the staff too of the importance of their role for the purpose.
I spent about 4 hours in the park and on my way out I came across two photography students shooting some leaves for their assignment. Further down I met another macro photographerer with a Canon macro lens. Having gave him this URL, I felt obliged to do some updating ASAP. Segan lak nanti.
For Red and Ikelah, these images are for both of you to comment whether I'm ready for the next stage. We have agreed on a 1 month proationary period for me to get accustomed with this lens and the period is almost over.


#1: Ikelah's favorite - Cricket



#2: Red's favorite - Savage world in macro



#3: Savage world perspective. A shaky perspective.



#4: A small insect became lunch to this what' this called?



#5: Setting up an ambush



#6: A small jumping spider prowling.



#7: Another jumping spider during meal time.



#8: Larger spiders can eat smaller spider. Looks like #6 got eaten.



Dragonflies have been my passion. With my new 60mm micro, I can now shoot better images of them.

#9: An N. ramburii. Very common in Peninsular Malaysia. A percher by hunting method.



#10: Another image of N. ramburii.



#11: A different type of dragonfly known as Acosoma panorpoides. Light blue in color and not as common as N. ramburii. These are also more difficult to shoot.



#12:This is quite a rare species from the Libellulidae family. I still can't determine the species type.



#13: I have no idea what insect this is. Noticed it while chatting with the 2 students.



#14: These are definitely flies but I have no idea what they are doing.



Next week I'm off from any macro safari.
