Jumping Spider that Looks Like a Zebra Jumping Spider

About 1000 m above sea level in a hill forest, I came across this really tiny (about 2 mm) jumping spider that looked like a Zebra Jumping Spider. (Salticus scenicus), in Pahang, Malaysia.

However, I had confirmed with a professor in this field that this salticid is NOT Salticus scenicus. I wish someone can tell me what kind this beautiful spider is.

Helopeltis cf. theivora, Miridae

A strange Mirid bug was found in the shrubs of the rain forest, Perak, Malaysia. The time of discovery was about 8 o'clock in the morning.

From afar, it appeared like a small crane fly. As I took a closer look, I realized the bug has an antenna-like structure on the scutellum.

But I noticed the almost-hidden proboscis and overlapped wings that I was quite sure it is a hemipteran. Further findings reveals bug of this genus are pests to crops such as tea plant and cocoa plant.
