Scale insects are really weird too. They're essentially something like a shield-bug or aphid but their anatomy is really tough to figure out.
Cool. Looks kinda like dry sugar or something...
Here's a few more:
Stalk-eyed fly:
Conehead mantis:
Mettalic mantis:
Candy-striped leafhopper
Another lanternfly:
Trilobite beetle:
Dinosaur bug (also known as wheel bug)
And probably my favorite mantis, the Idolomantis diabolica:0 -
