neville parkAnd although literally no one asked, here's some pics of the wild bedbugs…
(They're securely contained in a vial with a tight-fitting lid. The graph paper is a label recording the species, location, and date they were collected. I can put isopropyl alcohol in to kill and preserve them at this point, but I need to buy more.)

sohkamyungA Cicada, Purana ubina, spotted at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, Singapore on 1 Jan 2025. Maybe one of the less common local cicadas; I was attracted by the song it made (of course), which was different from the usual cicada song I hear.
