Like red-light-bulb “nose”, the lantern fly does not
light up like a lantern. It is, however, very colourful, with striking patterns
on its wings. Not all species are so brightly coloured though, with some being
just plain white with a red snout.
Usually seen singly or in pairs perching unmovingly on the
trunk of a tree, the lantern fly occurs mainly in South East Asia and there are
about 30 species. In Taman Negara Pahang, they can be found on the trails to
Canopy Walkway, Jenut Muda trail or sometimes on boardwalk near the Park Centre.Sabri
