Pictures of insects. Not your cute bunnies, but good anyway. Plus, [More:]

1) I should maybe have started on the main page.

2) My friend Kevin (who likes the page very much) would like to point out the following...

The wasp carrying away a caterpillar is categorised as predatory, not parasitic: parasitic wasps lay their egg in an animal in situ and just let them get on with it.
The other wasp building a mud nest is a kind of Potter Wasp. It's predatory too.
I think the lizard with tiny legs is a kind of skink (that's a good word).
The "nice black and red beetle" is surely a true bug (family Miridae?).
The "sea urchin?" is called a Sand Dollar in the US.
The millipede notwithstanding, there are some beautiful pics on the Malaysia page, too.

They're not pissed off. They're just a little crabby.
