Quick-Change Artist

A Javanese Grasshopper moulting in the Gardens by the Bay. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

Well, it wasn’t really that quick because when we chanced upon the grasshopper, its head and thorax were already out and between then and until it managed to shed its exoskeleton, it was a good 20 minutes.

Never thought I would see a fly rocking a double mohawk before

Not exactly sure what this beaut is, but Strauzia genus was about as satisfactory as I did narrow it down.

when i first met Donut, i wasnt sure he'd survive the night.

i caught him while he was hiding in the folds of my bedsheets, with my cat Wembley still in pursuit. the poor thing had taken a beating: he was missing his right jumping leg, and his 2nd right walking leg appeared to be completely paralyzed, dragging behind him as he nervously skittered around in his temporary enclosure.

luckily, his injuries were purely external, and he pulled through brilliantly!

i moved him into a large enclosure with Baguette, a solitary adult female i had rescued only a week prior. she was a tad stand-offish with him at first, but the two quickly became friendly, spending most of their time hanging out together!

his paralyzed leg was eventually discarded, possibly by him gnawing it off himself. he moved about rather clumsily, only having one leg on his right side to work with his undamaged left limbs, but he seemed to have no problem getting around regardless. he loved to climb around the enclosure, and could still haul ass when he felt surprised or threatened, ahaha.

Donut was such a character. i have no idea how he managed to fit so much energy (or cucumber) into that funny little bean-shaped body. im so glad that i was able to give him a calm, easy life after his brush with death. i just wanted him to be comfortable, but he didnt just survive: he thrived.

Donut, i love you dearly, and I'll miss you and your antics so much. i promise I'll take good care of your girlfriend. im even thinking of incubating some of her eggs, so who knows, you may even end up a father!

I'll think of you tomorrow when im cutting up everybodys cucumber 💚

Donut

Singing In The Wind

A Variegated Green Skimmer clinging on as it gets swung about on a windy afternoon. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

With a fast enough 1/500-second shutter speed and fast autofocus, nailing this swinging dragonfly was thankfully quite straight forward.

Thought @onenicebugperday would appreciate this but so I had been working as a pest control technician for mosquitoes over last summer. Obvs that much time outdoors lets you come across a lot of critters, and I decided since i haven’t had that job anymore since November it’d be fun to put together a little highlight reel of the other bugs I came across on the clock.

First off we got an impressive katydid

A quite photogenic snail

My favorite local wasp species, a cicada killer

A much more common and large red wasp

Local hanging thief. Absolutely badass looking robber fly who somehow got into the office building

Another robber fly encounter, this one was busy having a snack on a red wasp it has caught

BMSB that I would usually not like to see, but this one was literally in the middle of molting into the adult form and I loved how it looked like a forbidden peppermint

What I am going to guess is a very handsome stag

And of course, my actual target. Mosquitoes are certainly no uncommon sight but I managed to catch this one freshly emerged out of the pupa and that’s kinda neat

(Asian tiger to be specific, not native here but they sure be flourishing)
