What a beak! Found lurking on one of the greenhouse cacti - never seen this one before, looks like the Apion genus, anybody know the species?

another gothic looking creature, completely blending to the underneath of a branch and required the very sharp eyes of the guide to point it to us. this species have very strange orange spikes on its back. this shot even captured some cob-web on its pair of "horns" at the front of the head.
updated:
this species have been identified as a rare male Parectatosoma species endemic in Madagascar and not yet described, based on emails sent to me by various experts. glad that i had a chance to see such an amazing creature.

I've had a few encounters with these in my Bangkok apartment recently. It seems they like the relative humidity during the wet season.
On my fingers. This fellow really liked me. Would not land on a leaf or a flower, only on me. I think it was enjoying the salt in my sweat.
Insect and flower. I shot this series with Olympus TOUGH TG-5 by using (normal) macro feature. In this case I could not use extended focus because insect was moving way too fast and it was quite challange to get some photos even with normal macro. I shot over 200 photos to get these few. However with compact macro (with small sensor size) this is somewhat easier than with full frame sensor DSLR and macro lens. Hausjärvi, Finland. 28.8.2017
The island's trees were full of adult Mayflies; as such Ring-billed Gulls were busy flying to feed on this bounty. At night, just as dusk was falling, we were treated to the jigging flight of these insects.
I don't know enough about ants to differentiate species (any input from people who know would be appreciated!), but I do enjoy uncovering and observing their amazing societies and behaviors. Allegany County, NY, USA
Insects are everywhere. Photograph a bug in your environment (no spiders - they're arachnids). (@DeForestRanger)
I expected this to be an easy assignment but the winds today seem to have driven off the bees and butterflies that are usually in the gardens.
This little bug is the most hated pest in our yard. It destroys the grape leaves, the burning bush leaves and so many flowers. We've tried the traps but haven't found them effective. So when they get too bad we take a bucket of soapy water and just pick them off the plants and toss them in the bucket. Anyone have a better plan?
