[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This insect is also known as lanternfly. It feeds by sucking tree juice. It's not easily found nowadays in Hong Kong. Its extraordinary appearance attracts a lot of insect lovers. Wish TN friends will like it too.

Hello Waisum,
Very beautiful insect with bright colors and nice graphic spots. A real jewel. Thanks to share it with us! Best regards,
Catherine

Hi Waisum,
understandable that entomologists gather when such a splendid Fulgorid appears... What a sight! Even Linnaeus knew about the animal. You got a good shot of it. The animal was not exposed to the full sun, it would have been difficult to render the fine colors and patterns well. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Dietrich
