It keep on raining today so... Here's my recap of INVERTEFEST✨🪲 day 3 at Bogor Botanical Gardens!!

Yesterday was raining so much too but hell the change of scenery made me more enthusiastic of what I could find!

First I met with my partner and admiring some bracket mushroom when we found the first bugs! Never saw these kinds before! They're Eumorphus marginatus

After that, unrelated to bugs, kinda, but my local botanical gardens apparently has opened a new shiny NEPENTHES garden and it's just- the best new thing they have omg

They have a good collection of nephentes from Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan (Borneo) while ALSO have Dorsera, Venus flytrap, and those American pitcher plants which is so cool of them my serotonin level is so high and still is it's the first time I ever seen them directly omgomg

Not only that, they also have information boards regarding where they came from, their functions, and other cool stuff! Thought most of the time you need to swipe water droplets off it cuz every so often the cool af water mist machine™ here's a pic of one of the board and me being absolutely thrilled with the water that came sprinkling down

After all that we continue our journey to the lake so I can find some aquatic bugs. It was not so successful though for the rain made it harder for me to focus to find bugs, I found some of these guys tho..

A water strider that actually kinda staying still as I took some pictures, a hell lot of dragonfly, a bee, apple snails (probably), and that little plant hopper in hell of a large group which eaten the aquatic plants..

Right after we decided to walk through the densely forested area to find more bugs which we did! lotsa little fella and this very cool coin spider and a skink!

dude's having lunch

skink guy

we also went to see the aquatic plants section, not very cool actually..

found an orange cranefly, some butterflies, snails fonicating.. though I found this small wasp nest with little wasps snuggling in it. their nest really camouflaged well to the background I'm impressed

Fast forward, walked far to see the orchidarium, it opens on wednesday, wack, we found bugs along the way and this carpenter bee though which was not wack.

Alas, we decided to go to the herb garden instead, which was also closed, so we just stroll around looking for bugs.. and bugs we did found!

even this very cool cicada molt which is my goal going there at the first place! great day great bugs!

man this is such a long post thank you for reading this far! 10/10 would do this again!

I think some of the cutest larvae in the world belong to Eumorphus, a genus of handsome fungus beetles (Endomychidae, not to be confused with the erotylid pleasing fungus beetles). I saw a number of these in Singapore, posted around logs and fences like little ornaments, probably grazing on fungal biofilms

@robotzebra​ submitted: Hello again. This time I come bearing beetles.

One of my first ever fireflies.

Enjoing the flowers in a garden.

Remember the black and yellow beetle from an earlier post. Here is his friends, and they are having a spore party.

A tiny, out of focus friend from a light trap.

Two different rhinoceros beetles. The second one was unfortunately at the end of his life when I found him.

This is a beetle in the genus Cyphochilus.

And I want to share a fact that I found interesting. These beetles are covered in scales that have a special nano-structure that scatter all wavelengths of light equally. This creates an especially white color that is very opaque. The beetle is actually black underneath the scales. This structure has been copied to make ultra-white paint.

And finaly another shot of the jewel beetle, just because I love this lime pal. This time showing of more of their elytra.

Next time: Ants

Ooooh yes share those ants!! But wowowow these are some A+++++ beetles. I don’t think I can even choose a favorite. Okay maybe I can because that white cockchafer is just TOO DANG CUTE. Radiates the most friendly energy. Then again that’s true of all beetles I think. Also love the black and yellow buddies with all their little pals enjoying that fungus! Bug party. Thank you for sharing another batch of wonderful friends!

the orange dots on the bug looks (vaguely) like the TF2 logo (segmented orange circle on black)
