It's about as big as a $1 coin... Very cute ^ ^

wow that is unique!

Does it feed on leaves?

Pengui · May 11th, 2007, 02:45 PM

After some research, I believe it is a green planthopper (Siphanta Acuta).

Interesting... it's the first time I've seen it.

That's gotta be one of the best camoflages I've seen, you'd never notice that sitting on a branch of a plant with green leaves!

This is a unique wildlife in Singapore city…

Another funny looking bug... I like my camera's ability to take macro pics ^ ^

Again, no idea what's the little guy's name. I've met a similar kind of bug in France, although entirely black in colour, that is called, by translating literally, a capricorn. Can this also be an insect name in english?

Wild boar spotted in a carpark in Singapore (don't ask me which carpark cos I found this pic from the net):

Pic of a wild boar spotted in Chek Jawa, Pulau Ubin:

I spotted a trained performing eagle and a vulture (with trainers) on top of Jurong Hill near the Bird Park a couple weeks back but unfortunately I did not carry my camera with me.

Is the view from the top of Jurong Hill nice?

Not really. Jurong Hill's view is mostly of the industrial estates, the shipyards, Jurong Island and off-shore oil refineries in Bukom..... overall a very industrial feel. The only reason why people go up there is because of the hill-top Japanese/teppanyaki and Indonesian restaurants.

hmmm....a totally different kind of skyline. I've seen some shots online of the industries at night, can also look quite stunning

Yes they can .... provided you can see through the dust pollution and hazy air.

Where exactly in Tanglin Village did you see these gigantic fish? I want to go there to bring them to my dinner table .... er, I mean to pay homage and make wishes.
