Here's some unidentified plant bug.

It used a straw-like mouthpiece to suck the juice out of berries.

Cool Matt. I think that same guy was visiting my mom's garden last month -- I got a few photos like yours (minus the awesome straw).

I got hit by a nasty cold and wasn't able to get out on my daily walk/bug hunt. Hoping to get out this weekend. I figure the cold weather is going to slow down some of those faster bugs. If I can find a healthy creek nearby I want to try to find some beetle larvae.

Nice little stinker.

Next week I have to make a trip to Singapore to renew my Visa. I see they have a very nice botanic garden. I'm hoping to have time to go there with my camera!!
