Hi Cathy,
We agree that this is such an unusual looking moth, however, we do not recognize. We are unable to take the time this morning to research its identity, however, we will post your image and letter and we hope one of our readers will be able to supply an answer.

I have many photos from a trip to Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. I’ve been floating around this picture in hopes of identifying this spider but most of Invertebrates I photographed have been very difficult to ID. Please have a look if you can:

Please resend and attach the spider photo. We cannot grab the image from FlickR and we want to post the image before we begin the research.
Here you go. Could you please give attribution if you post the photo. Would you like me to send all of the photos I have questions about?

Hi Nathanael,
This is sure one interesting Spider. We agree it is most likely one of the Orbweavers, but we don’t even have a clue at the genus. As you might have realized, researching African bugs doesn’t always produce satisfactory results. We are posting your letter and image and we hope eventually we will get an identification.
Long shot… cute squiggly brown moth

Yea, I know noctuid moths (which I assume this guy is) can be tough. A long time moth enthusiast (all bugs actually) I leave the light on for them and love seeing who came to visit over night. I no longer kill and collect them, but I do regularly refer back to my 4-H collection.
This guy visited a couple days ago (July 11th, give or take. I can’t seem to pin him down (no pun intended). For some reason, I decided to focus my attention to identifying it this morning, 3 hours online, no avail. Any thoughts?
Norther Colorado foothills/mountains, 15 miles by crow west of Fort Collins, 40 miles by crow south of Wyoming. 8100 feet.

I’d also like to add… if there is a need, I’d be happy to volunteer some time to help with ID requests. Especially those that are semi local to me, as I am pretty familiar with northern CO species, having collected hundreds of different species during my 10 year 4-H entomology tenure…
Feel free to fwd anything that comes in. I love the challenge 
Love your website!

Hi Matt,
Your are sure right about some moth identifications being extremely difficult. We are posting your photo and indicating that it is unidentified. We hope our readership is able to provide an identification. We greatly appreciate your identification offer. You might want to start to peruse our unidentified tag to see if you can provide comments to any of those postings.
Identification provided thanks to littlechkn’s comment
Seems this may be The Scribe or Lettered Habrosyne, and the images on BugGuide looks correct. It is in the family Drepanidae, the Hooktip Moths and False Owlet Moths.

Hello, I have photographed this Treehopper in Brazil, Northern Pantanal.
Shearching the Internet, I have found http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2011/02/06/treehopper-from-peru/ this page and thought mine was very similar.
I liked the site and decided to register to try to ID this…

Dear www.lgphotography.fr,
We still do not know the identity of this spectacular Treehopper, and perhaps this additional posting will lead to a proper species identification.
What kind of bug is this?

Mysterious Things
Dear tklb2011,
We have no idea what these mysterious things are, but they do seem to resemble eggs. Hopefully our readership may be able to contribute some information.
Eggs or Not???
Ed. Note: July 13, 2011
We received a comment from Jessi indicating that these might be Moth Eggs from the family Geometridae.

HI Alta,
Several months ago we posted some photos of the Jewel Bug, but despite our research, we have still not identified the species.

Do you know some information about it?

Hello, I wish to ask you about this insect.I saw it clinging onto my seedling. It looks like to have the eyes on its back.
If you know its name, please tell me about it.

Dear sincerely,
As much as we would like to identify this creature, you haven’t really supplied us with anything useful for us to begin a search. A seedling is not a location. We like to have a state or country indicated in that field of our form. There is a dearth of useful information in your email. You didn’t even provide us with a name for the seedling. We are quite curious about this immature Hemipteran’s unusual antennae, but again, we cannot even begin to research this identification before you supply us with helpful information.

Sorry for not suppling formation

Dear bugman, I apologise for not supplying more information about it.
Here it is. The seedling name is ”Millettia brandisiana Kurz”(scientific name). And it not only can be found on the seedling but also on the ”Millettia brandisiana Kurz” tree. If you want more information, please let me know what you need for searching.

Hi again Sincerely,
Thanks so much for supplying us with additional information, including your location and the plant. Since this is a nymph, it might look very different from the adult form of the insect. Have you noticed any adults on the plant? It is very interesting that the very broad antennae of this insect look just like the new leaves on the plant. The insect may have evolved to survive by mimicking its food plant. Though we still don’t have an answer for you, it is great to have the additional information. Sometimes difficult identifications take time, and occasionally, even years pass before some identifications are made. You may want to consider posting a comment to this posting. That way you should be notified if anyone writes in sometime in the future with a new comment.
