Menemerus bivittatus (Gray Wall Jumper)

This is Menemerus bivittatus, commonly known as Gray Wall Jumper. It belongs to Salticidae, a family of jumping spider.

I found this spider mostly on walls. Actually, it's approachable but sometimes it jumps.

Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis This is Aspidomorpha sanctaecrucis , commonly known as Golden Tortoise Beetle. It's similar in Bahasa, mostly Indonesia people called it as Kepik emas or Kumbang Kura-kura Emas (kepik/kumbang=beetle; Kura-kura; tortoise; emas=golden). Maybe because of they're golden and shine colour, just like a golden and also the dorsal (upper side) form looks like tortoise shell (carapace). But, the local name (Sumedang; Sundanese) is totally different, that is Bolokotono. Even me as Sundanese, I don't know, why it's called Bolokotono?

At a glance, it looks like "Creeping Woodsorrel" ( Oxalis corniculata ), even their local names are also the same i.e semanggi. But, both are totally different. Water Clover ( Marsilea minuta L.) is an aquatic fern (Pteridophyta). Conversely, Creeping Woodsorrel ( Oxalis corniculata ) is a terrestrial seed plant (Spermatophyta). Additionally, Water Clover ( Marsilea minuta L.) is also bigger than Creeping Woodsorrel ( Oxalis corniculata ) Ini adalah Semanggi Air ( Marsilea minuta L.). Penduduk sekitar (Sumedang, Jawa Barat; Sunda) menyebutnya Semangen, tapi sebagian besar orang Indonesia menyebutnya "Semanggi". Sekilas, tumbuhan ini mirip dengan Semanggi/Daun Asam Kecil ( Oxalis corniculata ), bahkan nama lokanyapun sama Semanggi. Tapi, sebenarnya keduanya sangat berbeda. S...
