  • Bronchocela jubata - Maned Forest Lizard Gosh! I don’t know where to start with this one, I have so much to write. I have 65 images, and choosing just three to start off the species on this sight, took me half an hour. But, I will be posting more of this stunning creature in the future.

I have chosen these three images for ID purposes and also to show what you actually see in the field. Also to show the differences between the sexes.

This particular specimen is a male, identified by its throat pouch and dorsal display. Obviously I have been spotted by the lizard, hence the display, normally the mane and throat displays would be relaxed and flattened.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.

  • Triple Coziness Female Paper Nautilus - Agronauta hians; hitching a ride on Sea Grapes accompanied by juvenile Golden Trevally.

Only the Females of this species have shell and her shell is very thin like paper, hence the name.  In the picture, one can practically see through the translucent shell.

  • Aspidomorpha miliaris - Tortoise Beetle This is one of the strangest bugs that I have found, partially because I had never opened my eyes to bugs before, and such creatures went unnoticed.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.

  • Cephonodes picus - pellucid hawkmoth These exotic hawk moths are truly a sight to behold, especially if you can observe them feeding. Despite their bulky bodies, they can hover just like a humming bird, an aeronautical miracle. This expands the bee-like moth’s repertoire of feeding blooms to even the most delicate, otherwise incapable of supporting the weight of such a chubby bug.

Their livery is always a treat to behold, in fact a rare treat to be savoured when the photographic opportunity arises.

Location is Ciranjang, West Java, Indonesia. Garden.

  • Common Spotted Cuscus/Kuskus - Spilocuscus maculatus Some local Papuans keeps Kuskus as pets especially the babies. They carry around the baby Kuskus most of the time, like baby. Kuskus are nocturnal and they start coming out to feed around sunset. They have a strong odor and you will know when they are near by their smell :D

  • Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti) Tanjung Lampy, Lembeh.
My first decent picture of one of the prettiest seahorse species of the planet. I had seen them already in Cabilao, Philippines but back then my camera flooded and broke just at the moment of making a pic of them. So this was a pending on my list :-)
Here a few extra facts of this tiny beauty:
