Muhahaha, my long forgotten beetle post!
Will find the time to fabricate something of why I had them here :P
Okay..so you might be wondering why on earth a girl can come up with a post like this xDD
I'd like to think of it as a personal achievement. Ja xD
I'm not a natural entomologist by any chance in that's what you have in mind. Was helping out with my brother's Biology project.
Green leaf- like grasshopper: a Microcentrum retinerve?
One of the very first ones I manage to find is this cute looking leafhopper.
Quite a big one compared to the regular pests you see.
That's what you get when you live in the jungle itself.
Supersized bugs!!!
A common rhinoceros beetle
Mmm, this one is a female friend. Round heads^^
The males have a small rhino horn on their head. Too bad I don't have a picture of them.
Found them in abundant during April. Dozens of them various sizes all over the hostel block.
Probably it's their mating season.
I clean them every 2-3days because they get dirty after all the residues of the meal.
Bathe them with tap water (I could only think of that >_<)
They'd cling tightly on my fingers and hiss loudly when I tried to pull them off.
They have this kinda Y-shaped toes which is difficult to take off once they've hooked on you.
I'll just trick them to climb onto a piece of fruit.
And my finger is free ;)
One of my personal favourite, the Rhinoceros Beetle!!!
Looks like a Chalcosoma caucasus
(Munching on a guava piece about his own size)
Muhahahaha!!!
He had the most amazing tri-horns I've ever SEEN!!
Loved him max. Pretty big guy too about the size of my palm.
His looks might be intimidating but actually he is a soft guy^^
I feed all of them beetles with fresh fruits.
Pineapples, guava, watermelon, honeydew, mango~
They will hug the fruit and start to gobble like glutton everytime I feed them.
I just love to watch them eat.
A longhorn beetle?
An interesting colourful bug I saw on the corridor during a gap between my classes.
Looks like a long horn beetle to me.
They have rather big jaws, I always wonder if they are poisonous.
I bet you can never see this in the cities alive xD
Stag Beetle: Dorcus curvidens^^
This is also my favourite beetle.
A gentle creature, I can assure you that.
Their big claws might look scary but they don't bite at all.
Handle them gently and they won't give much resistance.
See how I can place it on my hand just like that?
