These were all tropical bugs i shot in some forest in Malaysia :). IDs and C&C would be greatly appreciated!

1. this bug has a pin on its back, as if back-stabbed :D. Body length about 1cm.

Lovely shots :)
#1 & #3 are Mirid/capsid plant bugs, #2 I think is a wonderful Ichneumon wasp.

Not sure on #1 and #3, but #2 looks like a lovely looking Ichneumon wasp. I really like #2 - superb shot. Nice lighting btw.

Looks similar to a wasp I captured a few months back, but far more colourful.
