White fly nymphs-(sap-suckers) have white filaments extruding from their bodies, probably to disguise their position.
The nymph of a giant shield bug. The white spots mark the openings of stink glands.
Brightly colored flower chafer - pollen eaters - active during the day
Blue weevil - the bright color is probably advertising to predators they are unpalatable.
A cousin of the jumping spider with over-developeed fangs never seen before

All these creatures were photographed by a scientific team exploring the depths of a dead volcano in New Guinea.
Forty previously unknown and undocumented species have been discovered so far, including frogs with fangs, grunting fish and giant woolly rats.
Those are very beautiful and unusual creatures , I wonder how long before man will try to put them on display and they to will be extinct.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what else the scientists will find there?
It seems as if time just stood still. Do you think they adapted to their environment to suvive?
These species remind me of something out of the twi-light zone.
