This whole documentary on treehoppers is pretty good, but the most interesting part (besides the ants, which make a few appearances) is this dude who uses a record needle to make tapes of the sounds that treehoppers make. You get a good look at his set up. (What's up with the tinfoil?)

A Planthopper, genus Kallitaxila, spotted at Bukit Gombak Park. Singapore on 26 April 2025. It was early in the morning, so it was still covered in dew.

A stink bug, genus Megarrhamphus spotted in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia on 7 April 2026. iNaturalist doesn't have many local observations of it, so I think it is an uncommon bug.

And although literally no one asked, here's some pics of the wild bedbugs…
(They're securely contained in a vial with a tight-fitting lid. The graph paper is a label recording the species, location, and date they were collected. I can put isopropyl alcohol in to kill and preserve them at this point, but I need to buy more.)

A Cicada, Purana ubina, spotted at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, Singapore on 1 Jan 2025. Maybe one of the less common local cicadas; I was attracted by the song it made (of course), which was different from the usual cicada song I hear.

A Water Strider, genus Limnometra, spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 22 Dec 2024. Commonly found in water bodies in forests, their swift motions don't make it easy to get shots.

The fly #Ectophasia #crassipennis (#Phasiinae, #Tachinidae,) has a Palearctic distribution and prefers #warmth. In Germany, warmth-favored areas are populated. Contrary to older literature referring to southern/southwest #Germany, the species also occurs in #Berlin. The #brood lives endoparasitically in #truebugs, often on #Pentatomidae. #Globalwarming favors the expansion of the original distribution of #warmthloving#species. #Biodiversity

We found several more well-camouflaged jagged ambush bugs (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢 sp.) in the goldenrods (𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘰 sp.) on last Sunday's hike. Here's one:
-
Oleander aphids (𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘪) on swamp milkweed (𝘈𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢), from July 2022.
Interestingly, these little critters are all female; no males are found in the wild. They reproduce by parthenogenesis.
