An Evening with 9DXRiders.

An evening with 9DXRiders (8 photos).

It was quite some time we didn't ride together, among the Supermoto riders. We had a small gathering last weekend, so I took the opportunity to capture some moments with them.

The bike below just had a major upgrading, an engine transplant. It is now a DTM 250. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Stink / Shield Bug or Tessaratomidae from Malaysia. (9 photos)

Tessaratomidae is a family of True Bugs. It contains about 240 species of large bugs divided into 3 sub-families and 56 genera.

Tessaratomids resemble large Stink Bugs (family Pentatomidae) and are sometimes quite colourful. Most Tessaratomids are Old World with only 3 species known from Neotropics. Some members from Tessaratomidae exhibits maternal care of eggs and offspring. The defensive chemicals of certain species can cause significant damage if they come into contact with human skin, they may also cause temporary blindness.

All species are exclusively plant eaters, some of major economic importance as agricultural pests. A few species also consumed as human food in some countries.

Tortoise Beetle of Malaysia. (10 photos)

The Cassidinae (tortoise or leaf-mining beetles) are a Sub-family of the Leaf Beetles, or Chrysomelidae. It includes both the former subfamily "Hispinae" (Leaf-mining Beetles), as well as the former more narrowly defined subfamily Cassidinae (family as Tortoise Beetles) which are now split into several tribes that include the tribe Cassidini, and in all include over 125 genera. The traditional separation of the two groups was based essentially on the habitats of the larvae and the general shapes of the adults. The name Cassidinae for the merged subfamily is considered to have priority.
