Summer of 2009: Rainforest 4

Today I gonna show you the other insects I shot in the forest.


A colorful leaf beetle. 1cm


This is the largest “tortoise beetle” (Chinese name of insects of Cassididae) I’ve ever seen. I love its crystal elytron with metallic gold  pattern shining in the sunshine.


A gray young mantis on a gray rock. I would have missed it if my friend did’t pointed it to me.


A big flying cockroach finally stopped on defoliation.


This is the only walking stick insect species we found there, yet the quality is quite large in August.


A beautiful moth’s dream was interrupted by us.

To be continued

  1. Gorgeous Ming, the little tortoise beetle is very similar to a species we have her in Missouri US. The moth is gorgeous.
