Hairy banana :D with 8 legs!

Not sure of the ID. Cyphalonotus sp. or Poltys sp.?

I thought it was some dead flower stalk when i saw it. Luckily it moved (weaving web)

A truly awesome set. Never ceases to amaze me how insects adapt to survive.

I didn't realize it was all connected till I looked through them a second time for a double take. What an awesome bug world where you live.
Very nice and interesting set.
