Morning Walk At Windsor Nature Park (24 Jan 2020)

It has been a while I have the opportunity to do macro photography in the morning. Seizing the opportunity of the Chinese New Year holiday season, I decided to go to the Windsor Nature Park for a walk. At the same time, I am also testing out a DIY "light-weight" flash diffuser. Sadly the new setup is not as good as I expected.

Here's a photograph of an alien looking insect found at the place, likely to be a nymph of an Assassin Bug.
