Unknown and Unique Spider

This tiny yellow spider is like a fake ones, even I can't believed it's a spider.The color is so beautiful, with yellow bright and a black spot covered the bodies.I found it in Paddi Field, but unfortunately this kind of spider is rare, hard to find.Until now, i didn't know it names, maybe someone out there could figure it out for me.



And this one is quite unique too, you see it has a mandible, but it's not a mandible, it's just looks like a mandible.I found it in a forest, near a bamboo trees, until now i don't have the name yet, and maybe someone out there could identified it.

Allotopus Moellenkampi Fruhstorferi from West Kalimantan

Allotopus moellenkampi is considered exotic and beautiful with its golden color. They spread along in Sumatra and Borneo with subspecies moellenkampi for Sumatra species and subspecies moseri for Borneo species. The size varied from 3 cm to 6 cm and they live in high level area with altitude over 1200m and temperature 16-22 degree celcius.

Most Collectors from around the world are looking for this kind of species, because it's the only species with two sub species in a world, like Allotopus Rosenbergi from West Java, and Allotopus Moellenkampi Fruhstorfer from Borneo/ Kalimantan.
About the price, well, don't ask me, everybody knows about it's prices, the highest prices in Lucanidae species.


Here's some of my collections, I catch it with my own hand, it's wonderful.

My Stag Beetles Collections

Stag beetles ( Lucanidae ), or in Japanese they call it Kuwagata, a well known insect from around the world, with it's unique and great looking type of insect, most are came from Indonesia.Peoples from around the world are looking for it and turn it into the most luxurious collections.The only reasons is because this beetles has a hard shell that cover it's entire body, so, it doesn't matters if the beetles is dead, because we can still turn it into a nice and rare dried collections for a very long time periode ( hundred years old).
The another reasons is this kind of insect is not like all the insect that can be easily found in our lifes, like grass hopper, flies,dragonfly and so manymore, we have to struggle with the nature to capture this kind of insect, such as climb on a top of mountains for a high quality ones/ species, or searching in a deep dark forest or well known with all kind of trees.

Well, for that kind of searching, i think i know why their prices in a market or online shops is very expensive, because for that kind of jobs, you didn't only have a lots of money, but you must have some experiences, knowledges, and a good team for this kind of jobs.
