I thought I might resurrect this old thread because of new information I've discovered, which might be interesting to those with an inquisitive mind.
I recently revisited the site where I took the shots of the amazingly human bugs, and this time with a good quality prime lens. Unfortunately, there were no bugs in sight, but I did photograph the same tree where I first discovered the bugs, which has very small, red berries, which I suspect are related the the bugs' appearance, because sometimes some creatures tend to change their appearance to blend in with the environment so they will not be noticed by predators.
As I walked back from the site, using a different route, I came across a placard which identifies the tree.
The tree is, Mallotus Philippenensis Euphorbiaceae Kamala, known for short as Red Kalama. Refer my attached photo. Also on the placard it was mentioned that a certain bug is attracted to the tree for food.
The bug is described as the 'Mallotus Harlequin Bug', but the picture of the bug on the placard looks nothing like my pictures of the bugs. What's going on? The confusion sounds a lot like the confusion of 'climate change'.
