Goshawk Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 ^ looks like Pyrops candelaria (or a very similar sp. as i see no 'yellow'). They're Planthopper's aka Lantern Bugs . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrops_candelaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 As Goshawk mentions, the Lantern Bug (Pyrops candelarius), also known as “Lantern Fly” or “Elephant Bug”. Good photos here - http://hongkongkwildlifephotos.blogspot.com/2010/08/lantern-bug.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goshawk Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have nothing to add to this thread. I'm just impressed of the knowledge embedded and shared by our naturalistic members. It took whopping 6 minutes to get a written reply to a question thanks oilinki . . . but they are fairly easy i.d's. I've seen/imaged 100's of them over the years. Pinpointing (i quit) Chonburiram's photo ? now that is something else, Mousehound is probably the best man for this one . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have moths too....Let me rephrase that...I also have some photos of unidentified moths. Large moth in dark corner of a building 5 km up the Mae Wong river from the national park camping ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have moths too....Let me rephrase that...I also have some photos of unidentified moths. moth mw.JPG Large moth in dark corner of a building 5 km up the Mae Wong river from the national park camping ground. I would say an Emperor Moth due to the eye markings on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
