Insect and other Images (July 1999)

 
The facinating world of insects (introduction by Mr Michael Yeh): 

Most people when encountering an insect will panic and stamp their feet 
down to smash it to pieces.If they put aside their fear and examine closely, they will find a fascinating world of beauty and incredible 
design. Malaysia is fortunate to have a wide variety of insect life,both 
beneficial and pesky. The chances of seeing them when one steps into the 
jungle is slim.Hopefully these pictures will open our eyes into the beauty 
of our insect world.
