Sungai Tua

I drove past this place countless of times without realizing the fact that its a treasure cove for large jumping spiders and portias.

What I learned was the fact that after a heavy downpour, insects are generally sluggish.

So, to photograph them in their full glory, patience is a virtue.

I was lucky enough to join my macro photography kaki Derrick @ MJ, who organised the trip and Master Kurt G, who lent his expertise in lighting control.
