Prof. Richard Corlett is looking for some insect photos for his book on The Ecology of Tropical East Asia (2nd edition). He is now working in the Center for Integrative Conservation, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He had been teaching Botany in HKU for many years  and contributed a lot to our knowledge on HK plants.

I have provided some, but the following I don't have:

Apis cerana on flower
Apis dorsata  nest or nests in tree
Stingless bee nest (but I realize there are none in HK!)
Xylocopa bee ‘buzzing’ Melastoma or similar flower.
Fig wasps entering or emerging from fig.
Colocasiomyia on Alocasia odora inflorescence
Epicephala moth on Glochidion flower.
Termites: e.g. fungus-growing termites on fungus comb?

Anyone able to provide please contact me.

Thanks!

另外, 我好耐前影過一張葉底舖滿小蜂的相, 唔知是否剛羽化所以排排企,
不過同你要求的有所不同.... 未知是否合用呢.........??

Not sure, more likely to be Apis mellifera

Sent the photos to Richard Corlett to ask whether he need them.

Thank you very much!

Fig wasps entering or emerging from fig.

Thank you very much!

Sent to him already. Don't know whether he needs them.

He already submitted the book last week. No need to provide more insect photos.

Thanks a lot!
