There are quite a few in my garden, these insects. Can anyone identify these for me, please.
#1 - Found destroying the Murraya koenigii leaves leaving us no leaf to cook! This is already there on a very young plant.
A few different insects to identify please
With a lot of newer members in the last one year, I bring it up again so that there may be someone who can identify these for me, please.
#3 is a Mantid of some kind and #12 is a Lacewing. Both good bugs.
12) it's Chrysopa sp(maybe chrysopa carnea).
6) it's with leafhopper.Typhlocyba pomaria
4) it's tipulidae.you image is not very good to identify which genus.
Thanks shytonak. #4 insect was very tiny and thin. This was the closest I could get. I'll check on #6 and #12 from the clues you have given.
Number 1 appears to be a caterpillar of a butterfly in the family Papilionidae.
Number 4 is not a Tipulid; it is stilt bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Bertyllidae; likely Metacanthus pulchellus - see http://tinyurl.com/2d76yxw for an image. It is reported to have a wide range of hosts, including plants in the genera Cajanus, Datura, Dombeya, Hibiscus, Lagenaria, Lycopersicon, Nicotiana, Ononis, Passiflora, Paulownia, Solanum, and Theobroma.
Number 5 superficially resembles a stink bug (family Pentatomidae), but I think that it may be in a different family - there’s just something about that bothers me...
Number 6 is indeed a leafhopper, but it is not Typhlocyba pomaria (white apple leafhopper), as that is a North American and not Indian species.
Number 7 is a treehopper (family Membracidae); it looks a lot like Leptocentrus taurus - see http://tinyurl.com/2d6u8dl for an image.
Number 8 could be a leaf-footed bug (family Coreidae).
Number 9 also could be a nymph of a leaf-footed bug, but I’ve never seen one quite like it.
Number 10 is a moth in the superfamily Gelechioidea; this includes a number of different families that can be very difficult to separate without microscopic examination and/or dissection.
Number 11 is a nymph of a stink bug (family Pentatomidae).
Thanks Suunto.. will be checking them soon.
I think Number 10 is a moth in the family Oecophoridae, sub-family Stathmopodinae. The wide-ranging genus Stathmopoda has the strange posture shown by your moth with two legs stuck stiffly away from the body, as in this Australian species: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/11497/
and this European species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stathmopoda_pedella
The genus is found in Europe, Hong Kong and Australia, so there are probably Indian species too, but I am unable to find one that matches yours.
