Lanternbugs on a tree

Lanternbugs (Fulgora sp.) on a tree trunk. The insect was named as it was thought that the long protuberance on its head glowed under certain conditions, but this fact is now disputed. Although this insect is a true bug (order Homoptera) it is also known as a lantern fly. Photographed at Poring Hot Springs, Sabah, Malaysia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a duo of Lanternbugs gracefully perched on a tree trunk in the lush forests of Sabah, Malaysia. The Lanternbug, scientifically known as Fulgora sp. , derives its name from an intriguing feature on its head that was once believed to emit a mystical glow under specific circumstances. However, this notion is now subject to debate among experts. Despite being classified as a true bug within the order Homoptera, this fascinating insect is commonly referred to as a lantern fly due to its distinctive appearance. Its presence adds an enchanting touch to the diverse fauna found in this region. The image captures the intricate details of these mesmerizing creatures with precision and clarity. Their delicate bodies and vibrant colors are beautifully juxtaposed against the rough texture of the tree trunk they call home. It serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable ability to create such intricate biological wonders. Photographed at Poring Hot Springs, renowned for its natural beauty and biodiversity, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the enthralling world of insects and their vital role in our ecosystem. Whether you are an enthusiast or simply appreciate wildlife photography, this stunning portrayal will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and ignite your curiosity about these unique homopterans known as lantern flies.
