Pygoplatys lancifer
One of the most amazing insects I've ever seen. Large red horns with speckled iridescent green and black in-between.
tropical rainforest
Spotted in Tawau hills park. I had first seen this insect on PN but never thought I would see it in the wild, so it wasn't even on my 'wishlist'. As I was photographing the planthopper in my previous spotting, Chun Xing Wong was looking around the area and found this spectacular specimen.
