Colorful Tropical Bugs

[orionmystery]

ID requested. Thanks. Strikingly beautiful shield bug. I spotted it as soon as I looked up on the underside of leaves. Selangor, Malaysia.
ID? Scutelleridae IMG_3046 copy by Kurt (orionmystery.blogspot.com), on Flickr


A walking leaf! What an amazing insect! Possibly an adult female Phyllium bioculatum. But for a more accurate ID, photos of eggs and the male would be needed too - ID via Bruno Kneubuhler.

The colors on that first bug are really cool. I mean I hate bugs but that one is pretty. As always your photos are very cool and also as always, I'm glad I don't have most of those critters in my neck of the woods (or desert as it is).
