Green Grooved Longhorn
A pale green longhorn beetle with long, elegantly banded antennae. It is found on fig and other broadleaf trees in African forests.
Did You Know?
Their green coloration fades to brown after death, so museum specimens rarely show their true living color.
Highclere Treehopper
A Neotropical treehopper with three distinct knobs on its elongated pronotum. It is an ant-attended species found in lowland tropical forests.
Did You Know?
The three bumps on its pronotum may mimic the appearance of ant-tended scale insects to avoid predation.
