All kinds of everything!

Yes, and I mean everything: spider, bird, moth, snake, frog, rodent!

A really cool orb-weaver with spiny butt! Poltys sp.(?). Pahang, Malaysia.

A good start to 2015. The first new herp added to my collection - a Twin-spotted Flying Frog (Rhacophorus bipunctatus). Malaysia. More to come, I hope

Cute little Pencil-tailed tree mouse (Chiropodomys gliroides ) eating fruit from some palm tree. This one was even friendlier than the last one I encountered. Selangor, Malaysia.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the worm's-eye view of the same Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse (Chiropodomys gliroides) I posted earlier. After the previous shot, the mouse got a little shy and climbed up higher and this was the only view available to me. Frankly, I like this view a lot, but you decide.

You are one of the very few photographers I look at who never has a bad or uninteresting photo.

Thanks, Matt. Spiders are anything but scary. You can start with the jumping spiders, they are totally harmless and very adorable!
