It gives me great pleasure to announce the upcoming launch of Borneo Spiders: A Photographic Guide. I had been working on this book for several months, partnering with the pioneer in Southeast Asian spider research - Joseph K.H. Koh. To get notified when the book launches, please subscribe to the mailing list below. It is expected to be available by the end of 2017.
Borneo Spiders: A Photographic Guide is built on the foundation of the highly popular series of guidebooks on Bornean Spiders, furnished with high quality macro-photographs, up-to-date taxonomic revisions, new distribution records, and many more pages dedicated to spiders found in Sabah and Sarawak. Over 300 species of spiders are illustrated with useful field identification tips, together with easy-to-understand notes on their natural history.
This book will be an indispensable reference for students and teachers engaged in ecological and biodiversity studies, nature lovers and macro-photographers in Southeast Asia. This will surely become a travelling companion of eco-tourists and their guides in Borneo, and a significant acquisition of the libraries of professional arachnologists worldwide.

- Book Cover
Those who follow my Instagram would have known that we had 2 candidates for the book cover, and informal polls had the votes split equally. The portrait on the book's cover belongs to a male Heteropoda davidbowie, named in honor of the rock legend. - Preview: Heteropoda lunula
Large and beautiful spider that can be spotted close to urban habitats - Preview: Phrynarachne sp.
A charismatic spider that is new to science, this Phrynarachne has a closer resemblance to fungus than to bird dung!
