#insect posting

The suspiciously hungry and round bug:

i’ve known about it for a while but forgot to post about it on here.

This is treehopper membracis lunata. Here in Brasil we call 'em 'soldadinho' (lil soldier). They got that nickname because their body format is similar to those old helmets. And in some placed they called 'viuvinha' (lil widow), cuz most of them are black.

They are very small, and completely harmless. They herbivores, and eat the sap from plants. So if there's a tree nearby, there's probably a soldadinho there too. Also them very friendly, If you put one of them in your hand, they'll just stay there for a while and when they had enough they'll fly away.

This is them babies:

There's record of them all around the world, except for the poles, for obvious reasons. And they come in all shapes and collors, look!

First one looks like a Brachiosaurus (long-necked dinosaur). Second one looks like a crescent moon, but black. Third reminds me of a stag. Forth one is just straight up a moth.

Ain't them so cool? Yes, they are! :)

Note, when i say they small, i mean this small:

but in the meantime, have an insect

Odontolabis Cuvera, also known as the golden king stag, found native to southeast Asia but is also distributed in Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam
