“Hi! Do you know what either of these are? They’re from Guangxi, China. The one on the right is from Yangshuo County; the one on the left is from that general area (my class took a bus up to the farm of a guy named Mr. Hu…somewhere near Guilin City, in Guangxi)(southern mainland China).”- shincha
Whoa- well, I can tell you they are both spectacular looking animals!
The one on the left is some species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. The right one is some species of weevil in the family Curculionoidea. Beyond that, I do not know, but thank you for sharing them! So lovely.
EDIT- Major flub on my part for the left- it’s not a beetle at all! But a Hemipteran. It totally on first glance had me fooled! I even in my mind, saw well-defined elytra- nope. It’s a Hemipteran in the Family Scutelleridae, the jewel bugs. Thank you, Darkinternalthoughts for the correction!
Shield Bug looks close to Poecilocoris latus, the Tea or Camellia Shield Bug, a pest of plantations.
