Malawi Insects 2019

[gilbouk]

Here's a selection of the many insects I came across on my recent trip to Malawi. I was lucky enough to have freedom for around a month which allowed me time to explore the area. Sad to see the natural forest being exploited by the local people for charcoal production though. This time I took along my Nikon D750, Sigma 105mm OS Macro & Raynox 250. All taken with natural light. Next time I'd quite like to take a flash rig, and try some stacking. Any help identifying these much appreciated!!

but it made me chuckle inasmuch as it looks like a multi-limbed primate hanging on for dear life

No idea what it is either, perhaps some sort of crab with what looks like an exoskeleton

Very nice set of some very varied subjects

A type of weevil sucking sap is my geuss

Sounds right to me the one labeled 6344 - looks like a click beetle to me.
