Stephan*Today’s waddle in local patch was quiet. Birds were hiding in the bushes and flying away as soon As they spotted me. Luckily there were plenty of mushroom and insects.

neville parkToday in the park, I noticed a lot of small flies around this one unhealthy-looking plant, a mint of some kind, that had been put outside the greenhouse. I looked closer to find…a flower crab spider (family Thomisidae, tribe Misumenini) feeding on a plant bug (family Miridae)! The small flies are kleptoparasites trying to get a bite of the spider's meal. It periodically flicked the flies away with its spare legs and moved around to get away from them, in vain.I don't see flower crab spiders that often so this was a nice find.<a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/DailySpiderPic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DailySpiderPic</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#spiders</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/flies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flies</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/parasitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parasitism</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/kleptoparasitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kleptoparasitism</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Araneae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Araneae</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Thomisidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Thomisidae</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Diptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Diptera</a>

sohkamyungA Horse Fly (subfamily Tabaninae) spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 31 Aug 2025. A large fly with extra large colourful eyes. Female Horse Flies bite mammals to get blood. Fortunately, this one appears to be a male, so I was left alone.
