Gorgeous photos!
The bird is, I am pretty sure, some sort of bird of paradise.

Thanks.
It's a Racket-tailed Drongo. I am rather confident about birds, but not insects.

Haha, okay sorry, I was wrong then! Surely looks like it could be one though eh?

the first Lizzard is some sort of skink, I knwo that much.. the beetle looks like it's realated to the Stag Beetle family.

The plant is a Strangler Fig. After it kills the tree, it takes its place.

The beetle is a Hercules beetle. They are a very diverse group that lives in the tropics. Really gnarly, dude!

Yes, strangler fig is what I thought it to be. And Hercules beetles and Stag beetles, are they different groups?

Thanks.

The second lizard looks like a young Calotes versicolor (Oriental Garden Lizard) and I am pretty sure the skink is Dasia haliana (The tree skink) but it is hard to tell without knowing sizes.

kmaal August 9 2009, 08:29:35 UTC

Thank you! The size was something like 8 inches including the tail in both cases.

ta_laitha August 9 2009, 12:34:11 UTC

That seems about the right size.
