Lantern Bug [Pyrops sp] by Rich Cottrell
“Pyrops is a genus of lantern fly that occurs primarily in southeast Asia, containing some 30 species. They are fairly large insects, with much of the length due to an elongated, upcurving, snout-like projection of the head. The wings are generally brightly patterned in contrasting colors, and they are popular among collectors.” - Wiki

From my perspective, we should only collect a reasonable amount of specimens that will not adversely affect the wild population.
