Watching 'flying elephants' is extremely poisonous in Vietnam

With a very long "elephant faucet" sprouting on its head and glowing wings like butterfly wings, this animal is a unique work of creation.

That's the insect called the cicada, the scientific name is Pyrops candelaria.

True to their names, they are like one
"miniature elephant" with a very long tap growing over his head.

Their spout is the long mouth part to suck the sap.

When flying, no one will mistake them for a butterfly.

Like the ticks and cicadas, the main life is below ground in the form of larvae.

They only molt to become a beautiful tick during a short maturity.

That's when they "sing" to find a partner.

They will mate and lay eggs on the ground.

A new cycle of creation begins.
