a couple more :).
3. i thought it was a spider, but only 6 legs, so maybe some kind of ant?

4. stick insect?
273580
All were shot in Malaysia. Thanks,

Lovely shots of some weird and wonderful bugs.
Think #3 & #4 must be stick insects with #3 being a nymph

Caterpillar is probably of the Polyura genus of butterflies.

Thanks, racketman :). I googled "polyura" and found this (http://butterfly.nss.org.sg/expert/Polyura-hebe/polyura-hebe.htm).

Thanks, DaveBinks :)

Thanks for the replies/comments :D.
@Lance V: LOL.i said so because it behaves like an ant :D...also about the size of one ie 15mm..but i can't be sure of anything anymore :D
For example, i thought this was a bee....then i realised much much later: hey, where's the wings? LOL
274187
I think it's a velvet ant?
