Deinopis sp.. The cribellate silk net is a bit more bluish and is somewhat like the woolly side of velcro, entangling prey in pretty much the same way (insects tend to have little spikes and such which are like the hooked side of velcro). More information on Deinopis can be found in this Nature In Singapore paper.
Many of these mysterious spiders, broadly guessing to be Pisauridae or some Sparassid with weird eye configuration.
One was pretty large, about 2 cm long and looked quite seasoned in partial white.
Mallinella cinctipes.
Strange looking assassin bug (Reduviidae, from the curved, strong looking rostrum not visible in the shot). They seemed to be in season, at least 3 were seen.
This is likely to be a beetle, as it has elytra and the legs and feet look beetle-like. But what is it, rove beetle (Staphylinidae) or longhorn (Necydalinae)? And what is it mimicking? Wasp? Scorpionfly?
Beetle in the leaf litter with a mite on it. The mite was quite active, crawling about.
Nolid caterpillar.
Pill millipede (Diplopoda, not pill bug which is under Malacostraca), kindly identified by Bob Mesibov.
There were quite a few phasmids ranging from 1.5 cm long nymphs to larger individuals like these (Orestes sp.?).
These mushroom eating Opiliones were quite common in the leaf litter.
Leptolalax sp.?
This other frog was so small it could fit into a 1x macro full frame.
The closest match for the pointy snout of this frog on Ecology Asia would be the black spotted sticky frog, although not sure if that black spot it has is indeed the groin ocellus. This one is around 3+ cm long so it may be a young frog.
