Three interesting insect species
Hello fascinating insect lover.. A few days ago I went back to hunting insects in the forest and I managed to find several species of insects there, three of which I will share in this post.
The first species is a fly in the Dolichopodidae family, these flies are known to have long legs so they are known as "long-legged flies". To find these long-legged flies in the forest is not too difficult, they like to be in shady locations and are very comfortable resting on taro leaves.
The second is Dolichopodidae, a species of assassin insect from the Reduviidae family. This species has several color variants and the one I found is yellow.
And finally there is a small unique moth, he is Phycodes minor, a moth from the Brachodidae family. Previously, I thought that this insect was part of a leafhopper because it did not look at all like a moth or its butterfly relative. But after I found out a few references about him it turned out he was a moth, cool! :)

Hi, you have beautiful macro photos , i like it !)
"Reduviidae" is correct, but "Dolichopodidae" doesn't really suit into that sentence.
Thank you for being willing to correct @jaki01
