Some more insect ids from Shaku (previous post - here)
These are insects that abound in the sultry heat that precedes the arrival of the South-West Monsoons in Kerala, India.
A looper-caterpillar pretending to be a broken twig. Loopers mostly belong to family Geometridae and are minor pests of different crops. They are excellent at camouflage and caterpillars feed on leaves and sometimes fruit or flowers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometer_moth
Cucumber beetle (Family Chrysomelidae). Perhaps it it is Aulacophora flavomarginata - Black back cucumber beetle http://www.ipmimages.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=5368034
Cucumber Moth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphania_indica
Oriental fruit fly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactrocera_dorsalis
Coconut rhinoceros beetle female. The male has a much more magnificent horn. http://www.guaminsects.net/uogces/kbwiki/index.php?title=Oryctes_rhinoceros
