Not seeing double - Spider Spider - KL, Malaysia

I think it's quite rare to find two spiders of different species on the same spider web. We found these two in our garden a few days ago (the spider web is the home of the bigger spider since a day later, only the big one remained). 

The larger spider had a yellow and black striped body, as well as legs. It looks pretty cool. Sometimes, some parts of its body would turn red when it flexes. The smaller spider is a black one with hairy legs. 

So dear reader, tell me have you ever seen two spiders on a web together?







Can you see a small insect in the mouth of the larger spider? Yup, he was having his dinner!


My daughter was very curious! She also wanted to see the two spiders;)

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.

Sunflower - KL, Malaysia

Last week, we visited a nursery near our home to buy some new plants for our garden. One of our hauls was this beautiful sunflower plant. I really like it, because it's so big and looks so prominent in our garden. It has been blooming for more than 10 days now. 

Beautiful sunflower
