It's bug time once again!

I've never seen this one before, on the Cable Route while pushing my bike up to the windturbine.

Sorry, I didn't have my macro adapter with me, so this isn't as sharp as it could be.

Post YOUR "Strange Bug" bug photos, please, and they might end up on the home page's Lamma Wildlife of the Day spot, like this one.

Don't know what it's called, but it looks like it's on acid. Here's another one - not very sharp, I'm afraid

The first Tiger Beetle (Cicindela Aurulenta. Thanks, Nancy!) I've seen this year.

They're swarming all over the paths right now, this was one of literally hundreds I saw on the way up the steps behind the Sok Kwu Wan Tin Hau Temple yesterday, on my way up to Ling Kok Shan (the hill behind Sok Kwu Wan with the TV antennas).

A real beauty of a creepy crawly today, made more scary as it was shot in the stairwell of a Tai Peng house; an excellently framed, sharp and detailed photo by Chris Hall, who doesn't seem to scare easily; he estimated it at 3 inches across, leg tip to leg tip!

This must be quite a rare specimen and we've got no idea what it's called, popularly or scientifically. Anyone can help?

Probably a Brown Huntsman Spider, Heteropoda venatoria.

See: http://www.redorbit.com/education/reference_library/arachnids/brown_huntsman_spider/4257/index.html
http://eugenecambodia.blogspot.com/2010/04/unwanted-guest.html

Quote: "Brown Huntsman Spiders do not spin webs. They are known to hunt for food by waiting quietly on a vertical surface and then rushing forward to attack when the prey is within range. Their exceptional agility and speed and ability to squeeze through tight spaces gives them a big advantage in capturing prey and also evading predators.
They feed at night and are welcome in many homes as they feed on pests such as silverfish and cockroaches. Although they are fearsome in appearance, they are easily alarmed and will often flee rapidly."


They can get up to 5 inches wide, hand-size, so I really love the part about "... welcome in many homes as they feed on pests such as silverfish and cockroaches."

Any Lammaite who keeps one alive as a pest killer pet?

Spotted one of these squished on the path outside Beer Garden last week (nothing to do with me guv'nor)

I hope they are not common on Lamma as I'd be seriously unhappy if one of these took up residence in my apartment!

Two more great shots from Ewa:

I've had exactly the same caterpillar (2nd photo) on my rooftop a few weeks back and have seen these beautiful (fake) blue eyes before.

What will this turn into? A moth quite common on Lamma, I believe?

Hearing about this wildlife photo opportunity via Facebook, Howard immediately rushed out to do some closeup shots just this morning, and I mean REALLY REALLY close, see below! He titled the photos:

"Sean and Lauren have a spider trained to kill Roaches and here it is :)"

Applications to adopt a Lamma Huntsman Spider for YOUR home - this one might have babies soon after such a huge meal! - and solve any roach-killing needs you might have, please apply to Sean & Lauren directly.

Anyone heard of a stinkbug that bites causing a raised rash and blisters, I knocked one off my arm and recognised the smell, over a week later and the itchy spots have nearly gone.
