Victor was mentioning rainy weather means higher chance to see the orange frog an sure enough we came across 2. Froggy day in general.

With Nicky to fire his flash from under the leaf.

Rough sided frog?

IMG_1366s
Field frog?

Polypedates leucomystax. It had 2 feelers sticking out of its mouth, probably just ate a cricket.

Large red mite, about 2-3 mm long. It kept tapping its two front legs on whatever it was walking on.

IMG_1310s
Hemiscorpiidae (Liocheles?). Nicky noticed that some had proportionally larger claws than others. Guessing its some sort of sexual dimorphism.

This luckless spider was probably caught by one of the scorpions hiding under the bark, can just make out a pincer tip on the abdomen.

Thereuopoda longicornis eating what looks like a tarantula (parallel fangs). Interesting how the legs of the house centipede coiled around the leg of the spider, gripping it. Also interesting is the scopula (grey spotty pad) on the tip of the spider’s leg is visible.
