Too close to a Cameron Highlands Pit Viper (Trimeresurus nebularis), montane forest of Pahang, Malaysia. Laowa 15mm.

Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis (Rhombodera basalis), Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Clipped the right claw. Reaction time is just too slow as everything is manual on this lens. Manual focusing, manual dialing of the aperture ring to the value you want!
