Re: Assorted bugs from a tropical highland

I've been to the Cameron Highlands, nearly 20 years ago, which isn't far away - was using film, of course, and had nothing that could cope with the light levels in the rain forests. Not that I saw anything that interesting, nor would I have had the skill to do as well as this. Still wouldn't, for that matter. Modern kit might've made this sort of shot possible, but it takes a lot of skill to get such good pictures.

And having praised the first one in particular, the others are stunning full size in Flickr, too.
