Long-legged flies are shiny metallic green flies slightly smaller and more slender bodied than a regular house fly.
Robber Flies attack insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, bees, and wasps. They hold their prey front limbs and then inject saliva into it. This saliva paralyzes and partly digest the victim.
Metallic Moth ( Saptha Beryllitis )
Jewel Beetles
Tiger Beetles taste awful and predators avoid eating them.
Frog Legged Beetles - This is the frog-legged leaf beetle (Sagra buqueti), and there's a good chance those gigantic gams are his weapons.
Found in the jungles of Southeast Asia, this brightly coloured, iridescent species can grow up to 5 cm long. Unlike its namesake, it doesn't use its hind legs for jumping, instead they're used to cling onto stems and foliage while it eats, its grip aided by scores of tiny hair follicles that cover the surface of the leg. But there could be more to those legs than just grip, because look at the difference between the males and females.
