“Hi everyone, I love and am very interested in insects, especially east asian ones. sadly I have no clue about any of them.
All these photos I took in Japan would love to know what exactly they are.
I have tried to search for insect identification websites (found but nothing comes up when I simply search for “cicada” for example) or a kind of lexica with photos of them all to identify them. no such luck. but i found this here fine website and hope you can help me.
most of them were shot in the island of kyushu, northern region of the island in fukuoka prefecture. some the shield bug is from iwakuni in yamaguchi prefecture
Thank you very much”
Hello, thank you for the very big submission! I’ll work on these as well as I can.
The cicada (Far Right) appears to be a Niiniizemi, Kempfer cicada, Platypleura kaempferi.
The green grasshopper is some close relative of the Atractomorpha genus, possibly Atractomorpha lata (オンブバッタ Onbubata).
The green and gray spider appears to be a male Neoscona scylloides , Comparison photo here.
The slim golden wasp looks much like a “Hosoashinaga-bachi” (Slim long-legged wasp) or Parapolybia indica.
The caterpillar might be a species of Cabbage Looper, but I’ll have to dig a little deeper in the world of caterpillars to find it for sure.
I suspect the shield bug is actually a nymph, but haven’t found a match yet.
The large grasshopper appears to be a type of locust, again they are tricky to ID!
I’ll have to ask around about the beetle too, but it’s very cute.
Thanks so much for the submission!

locusts are SO fucked up. imagine if your apartment complex got too crowded during a drought so everyone in it started overproducing serotonin until they gained 100lb of pure muscle and then chewed through the drywall of every building in the neighborhood
they do this over in philly
