Pyrops oculata lanternflies/lantern bugs and Draco formosus (?) gliding lizard on the same tree.

Too close, i know..but i just wanted to see how close it would let me get to.

Is that its nose or is it downing a pretzel? These things are surely well camouflaged.

Great set! Very interesting creatures! After seeing these the first time it reminded me to look closely at the trees on my walks around here. I'm glad we are in the middle of nowhere because I'm sure I look like the crazy lady who stares at trees lol! Haven't found anyone yet but I suspect it might be a bit early still. I have only seen moths etc around the lights at night a couple times. It is supposed to warm up this week so hopefully more will come out and I won't feel quite so crazy
