Hello Daniel,
3.24.2013. I met this guy hiding under a leaf at night hunting photo at Manglayang Mountain, West Java, Indonesia, first time seeing this one. The size is not more than 2 cm from toe to toe and this guy had a lovely abdomen color and pattern.

Hi again Mohamad,
Thanks to the nice facial view, someone with more experience at spider eye arrangements might be able to provide you with a family on this Spider. See BugGuide for Spider Eye Arrangements.

Dear 919949863709,
How sad that in India you have been dehumanized into a 12 digit number for identification purposes. Our own American nine digit identification numbers are also used for identity purposes, but to avoid identity thieves, we do not freely publish that information. These are Red Bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. We found a link on India Nature Watch that identifies it as a Stainer Bug, but no species name.

Dear salparadis,
We cannot say for certain that this is a Lynx Spider in the family Oxyopidae. Our first inclination would be to say an Ant Mimic Spider, but again, we cannot be certain. See some photos of North American Ant Mimic Spiders on BugGuide for comparison. Tropical species can be very difficult to identify. The prey appears to be a Termite alate. Despite our not being able to provide you with an identification, we are posting your lovely Food Chain image.

We found this fella feeding on suflowers in South Texas. Long longs, long proboscis – definitely designed for feeding on these flowers. Can you identify?

Bee Fly
Dear Tim,
This is a Bee Fly in the family Bombyliidae. We would prefer to leave a species identification to a Dipterist or someone else who specializes in the family or order. Bee Flies are pollinating insects and you can read more about them on BugGuide. It appears this might be a member of the genus Bombylius, but often superficial visual similarities exist across genera. You may also read about Bombylius on
