Limnonectes blythii?
Huntsman spider.
Ivan spotted this strange muddy looking spider.
And this large spider.
Hersilia sp.
I really need to get myself the spider handbook.
A sad broken bioluminescent mushroom.
Caterpillar.
Assassin bug? It was very shy and ran off before I could photograph the mouthpart.
Termites under the leaf litter. They were making very loud scraping noises, like a heavy sack being dragged over sand.
Stick insects. We found 2 on neighboring plants.
Scorpions. They seem to be commonly found together with orange harvestmen. One can be seen in the above photo.
Closer look at a orange harvestman.

That muddy spider is fascinating. I have never seen it before in my forest foray. You should send some of your great (unidentified) spider photos to the expert Joseph Koh. I am sure he will be delighted to take a look.
I'd love to! How do I contact him? I was planning to go check up the spider books before I take up his time.
the muddy spider probably Cryptothelid (Cryptothele sundaica?).
Love your photos! Can never quite achieve the same quality myself. Wish I had more time for night trips too...
I second budak btw :)
Thanks for the ID!
Hey Jac, I was just lamenting the other night about how my photos never achieve the artistic lighting yours possess! Anyway I can never go to these night trips often enough so call me whenever you're going down k?
James, I contacted him before for spider ID but have misplaced his email. Check with Ria privately. Just to share, my humble low-res photos of creepy crawlies can be found at:

Wow Joseph, you have a really huge and varied collection with lots of IDs, a really wonderful resource. Thanks for sharing!
