Up Close with Nature

This is the fourth species of giraffe weevil / leaf rolling weevil I have found in Malaysia. I even found a female building nest! These have been IDed as: Korotyaevirhinus necopinus orientalis,  Legalov, 2003. (ID credit: Andrei) I took too many shots of these weevils....but who can resist such cuteness? :P Cute :) Yes, the weevil ate that much! When nature calls? No, it's not what you

I found this beautiful Eurybrachyidae planthopper, laying eggs on a tree trunk. I spent about 2 hours observing, photographing and taking movie clips of her and the egg laying process :) IDed as Chalia pulchra (GRAY, 1832). Family: Eurybrachyidae. ID credit: Jerome Constant. The tree was Endorspermum malaccense. Location: Selangor, Malaysia. GIF animation of the egg laying process at
