What are these?

orionmystery · 6th of June 2008 (Fri)

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

. Body length about 1cm.

2. alien spy? about 1 cm long

3. not sure what this is either. Approximately 1cm long too.

cheers

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.

Thanks for your nice comments, Lance V and Dave. Here's the same wasp from another view point

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