Field Notes

Description:

A very tiny bug only at only about 2mm in length.
This tiny bug is a Saccharodite species.
Main body red, transparent wings, white eyes. Attracted to the night lights.

Habitat:

Found this on a table in the Maliau Dining Hall late at night. Not sure of it's natural habitat.

Notes:

>>>Map accuracy : 5km diameter. This is the second time I have seen one. I failed to take photograph of the first one back in Tawau because it jumped of my hand and flew away.

Thank Mark. I will try to photograph the eyes next time.
That's a beauty Chun. If you see it again try to get the eyes because they are always fun.
