Help requested

[Dewi9]

Last night I attended a 'bug photo-ing' session at a camera club.

Just shooting handheld with my EM1-2 as I could not find the plate for my tripod. Anyway, I got pictures of a few different types of bugs BUT I forgot to take pictures of the labels giving the names of them. Duh !

I am hoping that someone here can help by identifying them for me, please. Anyway, here they are -

Bug 1 -



Next, Bug 2 -



Finally, Bug 3, which I think is a Praying Mantis but have no idea what sort -



Thanks.

blu-by-u - you should know this one! Apparently it is a Jungle Nymph, a kind of stick insect, - from your home country of Malaysia

Never heard of it, but will give it a try. Thanks.

Sorted - Bug1 is a Jungle Nymph, Bug2 appears to be a Dares Ulula and Bug3 is a Giant Prickly Stick Insect ( I thought it was some kind of Mantis ).

The wonders of modern science !

[Ian]

Well done!

I photograph things about the size of their eyes

[Dewi9]

Proper Macro, then.

Phasmids is another term covering stick insects.
