Playing With Lighting @ Putrajaya

Information

Putrajaya is a planned city, located 25km south of Kuala Lumpur, that serves as the federal administrative centre of Malaysia. The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya, due to the overcrowding and congestion in the Kuala Lumpur areas. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur remains Malaysia's national capital, being the seat of the King and Parliament, as well as the country's commercial and financial centre. Putrajaya was the brainchild of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad. In 2001, Putrajaya became Malaysia's third Federal Territory after Kuala Lumpur and Labuan.

Jumping Spider In Action @ Sg. Meriam, Kota Kuala Muda

Information

Although Jumping spiders look peaceful, they are active hunters that stalk and pursue prey until close enough to attack. They select prey on the basis of experience and seemingly they have a preference for slow moving prey. Jumping spiders are poly-phagous meaning that they consume almost anything. Due to their complex eight eyes arranged in three rows, they possess an excellent vision, and where many spiders are nocturnal, Jumping spiders are diurnal.

Large Jumping Spiders such as Phidippus spp, which are found in North America, reach lengths of 8-15 mm. Jumpings spiders sometimes hunt in pairs, male and a female together, and during daytime. That relationship is sympatric meaning that it is mutually beneficial.

Their vision is important for catching the prey they pursue. According to several sources (Land 1969ab & Blest et al. 1990)the spatial accuracy of Jumping spider's eyes is approaching that of large mammals. More detail, please go to this link http://www.jumpingspider.net/

Flies @ Sungai Meriam, Kuala Muda

Information

True flies are insects of the order Diptera (from the Greek di = two, and ptera = wings). They possess a pair of wings on the mesothorax and a pair of halteres, derived from the hind wings, on the metathorax. Apart from secondarily flightless insects (including some flies), the only other order of insects with any form of halteres are the Strepsiptera, and theirs are on the mesothorax, with the flight wings on the metathorax.

Dragon Hunter @ Kota Kuala Muda, Kedah

Information

A dragonfly is a winged insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera (from Greek ανισος anisos, "uneven" + πτερος pteros, "wings", due the hindwing being broader than the forewing). It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Dragonflies possess six legs (like any other insect), but most of them cannot walk well. Dragonflies are some of the fastest insects in the world.

Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, wasps, and very rarely butterflies. They are usually found around marshes, lakes, ponds, streams, and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Some 5680 different species of dragonflies are known in the world today. For more details, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly
