A pair of treehoppers tending to their eggs. The dorsal fin seems to be variable, as we've seen individuals nearby without any dorsal fin at all. Some also have a red longitudinal stripe on their wings.

These bees are really rare, there are only ten observations in the whole world on iNaturalist, all from around Trusmadi entomology camp in mountainous Sabah!

A great start to our Borneo trip at the Trusmadi Bird Hide, where this stunning Bornean Banded Pitta was the highlight! Bouncing around the arena!
Just a female Bulwer’s Pheasant made a visit to the hide, but since they have been AWOL for a while, we were happy to see her!

Our first stop during our Bornean adventure was the Trusmadi Entomology camp a Singapore-sized region of secondary forest complete with a camp specifically set up for insects - see drone photo of the camp & the amount of forest around.
We had messaged before arrival & this really paid off... 1/x

A typical night at the entomology camp at Trusmadi, but with over 10 of these sheets positioned over ridges and mountainsides.
How does one even remember what's been photographed, especially when so many of them are moving?
