Wingless adults, wingless castes, larvae and nymphs — photographed in Sabah and Sarawak.

Insects photographed with no wings showing. Some never grow wings; some had not grown them yet; and in ants and a few other groups only the queens and males ever fly.
Since October 2026 the field records are filed by scientific classification,
under the wing folder of the order's adults. The ant, mealybug, scale insect, true bug, beetle
larva, caterpillar and stick insect records that used to be listed here have moved to
2_pairWings/, and their old addresses forward
to the new ones. What stays here is a record whose order is not yet known.
Looking for ants, true bugs or stick insects? They are now filed under
2_pairWings/, and each group has its own index:
True bugs,
Ants of Tawau and Borneo and
Stick insects of Sabah.

Not insects but myriapods — kept here because they turn up in the same leaf litter.
Family Anobiidae — the beetle larvae that bore through seasoned timber.
Egg masses and single eggs found on leaves and bark, photographed before hatching.
Single observations whose order is not yet determined, each with the date, the place, the photograph and an honest statement of how far the identification can be taken.
