"Wild animals - Insects!" Top 5 Page for this destination Yogyakarta Travelogue by belgianchocolate


Yogyakarta Travel Guide: 791 reviews and 1,694 photos

90% of the earths biodiversity
are insects. We have way to little attention
for them.

I want at least do a little effort
to give them the honor they diserve..

On Java the insects are a lot larger
then we are used to Europe.

If you can help me with the names and
determination of the species , please contact me.

This spider was a special one ,
It followed me with her eyes...
Like if she new where we were.



The praying mantis ,
the queen of the insects....

    Very informative pages. I would go to Yogyakarta just to be able to visit Borobudur and the Temples of Prambandan.

    The first spider is a Nephila sp. (Silk Spider). It builds huge orbs sometimes almost a meter in diameter. The third spider is an Argyope&i sp. (orb weaver spider)
