Specimen ZRC_BDP0372513, YEH-1398; found on Centhotheca lappacea.
Family: Reduviidae (Assassin Bugs)
Subfamily: Holoptilinae (Featherleg Bugs)
Tribe: Dasycnemini
Genus: Locoptiris
Not sure if this is Locoptiris Villiers or Locoptiris pendleburyi as my pics are too...can't make it la.
But just happy to know the Genus level finally :)
Update:
Thanks psophis_zelun
Could be genus Locoptiris Villiers, 1943 according to 'The assassin bug subfamilies Centrocnemidinae and Holoptilinae in Taiwan (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae)'
Small body size, 3 segmented antenna, very long setae on antenna and hind tibia.

Locoptiris pendleburyi, in Singapore. Three other species of the subfamily Holoptilinae — Holoptilus leprosus, Ptilocerus cf. subreticulatus and Ptilocerus unicolor, are
recorded on the Biodiversity of Singapore website (https://singapore.biodiversity.online/taxon/A-Arth-Hexa-Hemi
Locoptiris pendleburyi can easily be distinguished from the aforementioned three species by
the presence of long, thick and stiff setae on its antennae and legs, 3-segmented antennae, the single large dark spot
located centrally on its forewings and the lack of a trichome on abdominal sternum III.
Locoptiris pendleburyi was originally described from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by Miller (1940) as Ptilocerus pendleburyi. The species was transferred to the genus Locoptiris by Rédei & Tsai (2011). Members of the Holoptilinae
are known to be specialist ant predators (Weirauch et al., 2010; Bulbert et al., 2014), likely luring the ants with secretions emitted from the abdominal trichome (Weirauch et al., 2010). In the absence of the abdominal trichome, it is not known if Locoptiris pendleburyi has an alternative predatory behavior or diet.
Look like beetle from far.

Thanks Joshua for spotting
Curculionidae (True Weevils)
Molytinae
Ithyporini
Exapries? Look different from the fungi mimicking one
Looks like dry wood...
Some said like wearing wig
Some said look like Donald Trump...
looks similar to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37026392
and this species has been collected in singapore https://m.singapore.biodiversity.online/species/A-Arth-Hexa-Coleoptera-000665

the other two species from this genus with collected specimens do not seem to share the same blue metallic colouring
Ricaniidae
Brown white and pinkish red patterns
Inaturalist suggest Ricania

Inaturalist suggest Genus Vesbius
Found on White Mulberry plant (Pipturus argenteus)
Cleridae (Checkered Beetle)
Thanks Isidor Plonski
Family: Cleridae
Subfamily: Hydnocerinae
Thanks Dr Loong Fah
"I think it is a Cleridae, Neohydnus species. The Neohydnus that I know has no spots on the wing."
"Could be new species even"

I think? Seems to be the only species logged in SG on iNat. Also seems to lack spots on Tail and Dorsal fins characteristic of Pterois russelii
Syrphidae (Hover flies)
Inaturalist suggest Dideopsis
Hoverflies Larvae feeding on aphid
Aphid with wings too.
https://hyg.ipm.illinois.edu/article.php?id=1079
The larvae grasp the prey with their jaws, hold them up in the air, suck out their body contents and toss the exoskeleton aside.
Video show Syrphidae (Hover flies)
Larvae feeding on the aphid, and tossing it out. It got stuck on its body as it was tossed out, resulting a ball of empty ducked out Aphids corpse.

Tingidae found on plant (plant on last pic) plant is possibly Volkameria inermis.
iNaturalist suggest
Genus Teleonemia
Thanks Alexander Knudson
It looks more like Perissonemia sp.
Based on comments Eric Guilbert made on specimens
Should be Paracopium lewisi
Thanks Marcus

Insane find that easily wins the best find award in my 2024 list of finds! So grateful to be able to see it with my own two eyes, while it lingered, climbed out, and watched us scramble to get photos of it.
