SINOBUG
CHINESE INSECTS AND SPIDERS
Amateur macrophotography of an Australian living in China.
(ALL BLOG IMAGES ARE MY OWN)
DEFINITION:
Sino- /ˈsʌɪnəʊ /
a combining form meaning “Chinese”, as in Sino-Tibetan; Sinology.
Origin - from French; from Late Latin Sīnae - the Chinese; from Late Greek Sinai; from Arabic Sīn.
bug /bʌg/
1. (loosely) any insect or insect-like invertebrate.
2. a person who has a great enthusiasm for something; fan or hobbyist.
Origin - ”insect,” 1620s (earliest reference is to bedbugs), probably from M.E. bugge; “person obsessed by an idea” (e.g. firebug) is from 1841.
Sinobug /ˈsʌɪnəʊ bʌg/
an expat Australian in China with a passion for entomological photography.
Origin: Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia; currently Pu’er, Yunnan, China
After five years in Beijing, I moved to Pu'er (Simao), Yunnan in south-western China in mid-2011. I won't deny that part of the reason was to pursue my photography passion. Yunnan is reknowned as a flora and fauna mecca - China's Amazon. And indeed, everything (insect-wise) is bigger, brighter, more abundant and more bizarre than elsewhere. I had always been interested in biology, zoology and the natural world with an emphasis on all things small, most notably the insects. Initially this took the form of killing and pinning specimens and thankfully (and more appeallingly) progressed to photography.
