I went to Indonesia with my family and some friends of the family for 3 weeks. I'll be posting some of the drawings I did there. We spent the first 3 nights of the trip in 4 boats, going down a river in Tanjung Puting National Park and stoping to visit villages and the Orangutans. This is a drawing I did of a insect I found on the boat.
The Stapelia has such a remarkable resemblance to an infected wound. This fly is lazy, after laying eggs.
It is quite common to see insect galls on Leucopogon plants.
This plant had two types, the "grass seed head" type above and an ovoid type below.
Insect galls start by the insect laying eggs on the host plant. The galls grow as plant matter controlled by the insect. After the galls are formed, the larvae develop inside until fully grown, when they leave. Insect gall insects are usually species specific. (ie only grow on one species)
Waynes world gives extra interesting information about galls.
I spotted these insect eggs on the frame of my french doors. They kinda look like Lacewing eggs, but I have never seen lacewing eggs so entwined..

Soft and gloomy
Staying started to unglue me
And I knew that I couldn't win
Wanna steal your love, stop hold the dove
Just to pull my good luck in
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
Same old story, yeah it's getting kind of gory
Throw my all time low away
Spit turns into treasure, taste the blind side of life
Choke words that I can't say
No gun, no bomb, no way I'll run
Too bad, I'm not in shape
Too little, too late, that deal's so chaste
Do burning hands seem to care?
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
All right, I'm ready--the wild sound's gonna take me away
That beat's so steady
Make me fall to my knees, just start crying
No, no, no no no no no no no please no
I'm just an insect on an oak leaf, baby.
