A quiet walk down the deserted path once again. Decided to venture further in this time, and turned back only when I stumbled into the paths of a pack of stray barking dogs. They didn’t seem to like me so I slowly retreated. >.< Lynx Spider (Oxyopidae) - DSC_8011#1 Lynx Spider guarding its nest. I’m seeing this almost everywhere I go!!

Dart (Hesperiinae) - DSC_8013#2 From the Hesperiinae family, can’t confirm which Dart this is!

Lynx Spider (Oxyopidae) - DSC_8014#3 Male Lynx Spider crushes its prey. Male because of its 2 big.. erm.. palps!

Luzon Point Headed termites? (Nasutitermes Luzonicus) - DSC_8030#6 Nasutitermes Luzonicus (Luzon Point Headed termite) Long trail of them leading from tree to tree. Very unique pointed heads! Wonder if they’d use their heads to poke you when they sense danger??

St Andrew's Cross Spider (Argiope sp.) - DSC_8131#12 Tiny St Andrews Cross spider, I saw a much larger one nearby but the angle wasn’t possible for me to take a picture. Its legs are usually positioned in pairs to resemble a cross.
