Red-eyed Damselfly
A stocky blue damselfly with distinctive dark red eyes. It spends most of its time perched on floating lily pads rather than bankside vegetation.
Did You Know?
It is almost always found sitting on lily pads far from shore, unlike most damselflies.
Dragon-Headed Katydid
A Southeast Asian katydid with elaborate head projections resembling a dragon. Its bizarre head shape helps break up its silhouette among foliage.
Did You Know?
Its pronotal crest and head shape create a profile that makes it almost unrecognizable as an insect.
