Fish-hook Ant (Polyrhachis bihamata)

…a species of formicine ant that is native to Cambodia. This species of ant is noted for the three pairs of curved spines from which it gets its common name. These spines are used as a defensive weapon, when a predator grabs the ant the curved spines will dig into the predators skin and like a real fish hook the spines will not come out easy. When attacked the ants will work together and link up using their spines making it difficult for a predator to separate an individual from the group.

Peacock Jewel Moth - Dysphania numana

The tropical genus Dysphania includes some of the largest and most colorful moths of all the Geometridae. Dysphania numana is one of the largest moths for the family, reaching a wingspan of up to 8 cms. Whilst being somewhat variable, they are generally dark blue with clear areas in the wings, and an irregular row of orange spots around the outer edge of each hind wing. The body is banded in dark blue and orange.

This species can be found in Australia and also in Indonesia.

It is indeed one of the most beautiful moths I’ve ever seen.
