White-faced Jumping Spider

Posted on October 13, 2020

It has been quite a while since I’ve shared a spider photo… Again, as with all of these jumping spiders I found in Bali, I have zero idea what it is actually called, but I like the face on this one.

American Giant Millipede

Posted on September 11, 2020

I took these videos of these American Giant Millipedes (Narceus americanus) over a month ago while I was hiking in McConnells Mill State Park. I recently decided to put them together and make a semi-educational video similar to the Weaver Ants video I made while…

Orange and Green Jumping Spider

Posted on June 9, 2020

Again – no clue on what species this is, and I’m not even sure what to call it other than as I described it in the post title. I did share another photo of one of these spiders in a previous post.

Bumblebee Jumping Spider

Posted on May 5, 2020

Again – like the other jumping spiders I found in Bali, I have no clue what the name is for this spider (if there even is one), but with that yellow coloring and the black stripes, I figured I’d call it a Bumblebee Jumping Spider.

Parasitic Wasp

Posted on January 29, 2020

Ok – I haven’t been sharing much land-based photography recently (mainly because I just haven’t been taking any for a while), but here is a quick series of photos I shot while in Timor Leste of a parasitic wasp of some sort that we found…

Posted on December 20, 2019

I have no clue what kind of moths or butterflies these caterpillars turn into, but they’re still beautiful in their own right.

Ant Mimic Spiders

Posted on December 4, 2019

I saw several ant mimic spiders while in Jiwa Damai. Unfortunately, I only got photos of these two with the very large mandibles. I’m not sure what function those over-sized mandibles serve, as they don’t really help them to look like ants in my opinion.…

Not the greatest photo showing off this spider’s colors, but I like the long shadow in this shot.

Weird But True: Part 2 – Lichen Inchworm

Posted on October 22, 2019

So the title kind of gives it away, but I found these things on one of the coconut trees here. I was out for a nocturnal wander through the gardens and I thought I caught some movement on the one coconut tree. When I looked…

Weaver Ants Video

Posted on October 13, 2019

I guess I’m in a bit of a video mood recently, so here’s another post getting bumped to the front of the queue… As I mentioned when I posted the Weaver Ants post, I have been on the look out for them actually making a…

Jeweled Jumping Spider

Posted on October 2, 2019

I have absolutely no clue if that is what this jumping spider is called… or even if it has a name – common or scientific – but I think after seeing it, you’ll agree that it is a fitting name. Those iridescent metallic green patches…

Scorpions in Bali

Posted on September 30, 2019

Just like in Madagascar, there are scorpions here too. I was honestly a little surprised by that… maybe because I tend to associate them more with desert climates, but there are a lot here.

Random Song Lyric:I will never ever love another one the way I loved her
If I ever learn to love again
I will wait until the end
'Cause I don't know where, I don't know when
But maybe, I'm gonna see her again
