Bladder Cicada
An Australian cicada with a remarkably inflated translucent green abdomen in males. The hollow abdomen acts as a resonating chamber for its call.
Did You Know?
The male's abdomen is almost entirely hollow and balloon-like, functioning as a living loudspeaker.
Green Baron
A forest butterfly with vivid iridescent green upperside in males, while females are brownish with white markings. It has a powerful, gliding flight pattern and rarely opens its wings when settled.
Did You Know?
The brilliant green of the male is produced by microscopic structures in the wing scales rather than by any chemical pigment.
