Ladybird, bunga senduduk and ants - KL, Malaysia

It has been raining here in KL almost everyday. Great for nature photography as everything looks much better with raindrops on them.

Beautiful Nature in Our Garden - Leica V-Lux 3 - KL, Malaysia

The following photos are taken in our garden with the Leica V-Lux 3. Still learning how to use the camera, but so far I am loving the nature shots that I can capture with this camera, especially the 24x super-telephoto zoom and macro (flower) function.

Yellow daisies

Black bee (taken 2m away using the telephoto zoom function).. not bad!

Our acerola cherry (Thai cherry plant) is blossoming again! Hopefully it will bear fruits soon :)

Queen Ant - KL, Malaysia

A queen ant is an adult, reproducing female ant in an ant colony; generally she will be the mother of all the other ants in that colony. Some female ants do not need to mate to produce offspring, reproducing through asexual parthenogenesis or cloning, and all of those offspring will be female. 

Queen ants have one of the longest life-spans of any known insect – up to 28 years in captivity. Once mated, the "queen" will attempt to find a suitable area to start a colony and, once found, detach her wings.
