Close-up picture. Take note there is a "horn" developed from the shell; hence it is called Rhinocochlis.

Snails need calcium carbonate (limestone) to build their shells. There is a high concentration of snails & slugs in this area. Hence, you can find different species of beautiful snails in this area. Some are endemic species to Borneo only.
Unidentified species.....very tiny snail around 0.5cm (shell):
Leptopoma sp. (probably Leptopoma sericatum (Pfeiffer, 1851) )
Unidentified species. The arrow is pointing at a unique apparatus of snail, probably to polish the shell & prevent something from growing on it ????
Unidentified species.

A dead kingfisher trapped in a mist net set up by someone long time ago.
Another victim trapped & killed by the mist net : Rhinoceros beetle. (Genus name is either Chalcosoma or Xylotrupes)
I destroyed this mist net after seeing so many dead animals hanging on the net.

I think so, all the Chalcosoma I see from books have got two horns on the top.
Nice tortoise beetle... i cant really tell the species cos i'm no expert on them.. from picture furthest i can say is subfamily Cassidinae.. which isn't much help at all when you deal with insects.. its just too broad..Originally Posted by kuching
the other bug you have there is probably a Cicadellidae or more commonly known as a leafhopper.. again hard to tell species because it so broad. taxonomy follows..Order Homoptera, Suborder Auchenorrhyncha, Superfamily Cicadoidea, Family Cicadellidae. So its really a homopteran
Thanks again. Insect world is really amazing!!!Originally Posted by ranmasatome
