Mangrove Longhorn
A velvety brown longhorn beetle found in tropical forests across South and Southeast Asia. Adults are attracted to lights at night and have unusually long antennae.
Did You Know?
Its antennae can be up to twice its body length, giving it one of the most extreme antenna-to-body ratios.
Ant-Mimicking Treehopper
A treehopper with a pronotal projection shaped like an ant sitting on its back. The ant mimic is thought to deter predators from attacking.
Did You Know?
The "ant" on its back is actually a hollow extension of its pronotum viewed from certain angles.
