I don't know if that fluorescence has affected their lives, but some cicadas change color beautifully under UV light. Interestingly, brightly fluorescent spots appear at the point where their wings cross. Platypleura kaempferi #Cicada

Tomorrow, Tuesday 30th June at ~20.00 GMT, in episode 18 of my Twitter plankton series #DavidAttenborough talks about sea butterflies. Did you even know there were such creatures?, there's one in this picture. First, catch up with episodes 1-16 in my Pinned Thread @zeiss_micro

Amulius malayus, the tree resin assassin bug dips its forelegs into tree resin to attract and ensnare prey like stingless bees. Always knew it was cool to walk around with arms covered with attractive glue.

The remarkable sight of a bloom of the planktonic zoea larvae of the long-clawed porcelain crab Pisidia longicornis in my plankton sample. With their sharp, pointed, and long spines I wondered if this abundance gives them some herd immunity from predation. @zeiss_micro
