Darth Vader sp.

For a long time, I was convinced that this was a cicada, but it wasn’t quite right. Doing additional research for this post, I discovered that a distinct possibility was a lantern bug, which do not always have that strange snout at the front. The eyes were a better match and the front profile still worked.

You would think that having genus and such distinctive shiny black body and bright red legs, that an ID was inevitable. The closest that I got was Darth Vader, but he did not have the red legs unfortunately.

Update - Cercopidae sp. is currently favorite, possibly Ectemnonotum atrum.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
