    Eocanthecona parva (Distant, 1902) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a common species of predatory stink bug in Taiwan. This study collected a fertilized female of E. parva in the field, which laid an egg mass (91 eggs) afterwards. After the eggs hatched, the nymphs were reared until they grew into adults. In the meantime we observed and recorded the development and morphological features of eggs and nymphs as well as what the nymphs fed on. It took a total of 36 days approximately for the eggs to hatch and develop into adults. The eggs hatched approximately 8 days after being laid, while the nymphal stage lasted for 28 days. The nymphs of various instars can be distinguished based on the following morphological features: (1) the first instar: the head bended downward, and the thorax was black; (2) the second instar: the thorax was black, and the lateral margins of the pronotum were wrnte; (3) the third instar: the thorax was black, and the lateral margins of the thorax and abdomen were white; (4) the fourth instar: the thorax was black, the lateral margins of the thorax and abdomen were white, and the wing-pads of the mesonotum developed to reach the posterior margin of the metanotum, while the wing-pads of the metanotum were undeveloped; (5) the fifth instar: the pronotum was red, the lateral margins of the abdomen were white, the wing-pads of the mesonotum developed to reach the third abdominal segment, and the wing-pads of the metanotum also developed. There were 83 hatchlings and 46 of them grew into adults. Except four adults that molted incompletely, there were 42 (19 females and 23 males) which eclosed successfully. The average body length of the females was greater than that of the males, and it took the former longer to develop into the adulthood than did the latter. The nymphs of E. parva fed on a number of crop pests of Lepidoptera provided. It's worth testing the potential of applying E. parva in the control of these pests in future studies.

    A newly naturalized genus and species, Sidastrum paniculatum (L.) Fryxell (Malvoideae Burnett, Malvaceae), native to the New World Tropics, was found in Qiaotou District, Kaohsiung City, southern Taiwan. The genus Sidastrum Baker f. is closely related to the genus Sida L., and its schizocarp has only one seed per mericarp. The genus Sidastrum can be differentiated from the genus Sida by its calyx without ribs and relatively fragile mericarps. A detailed morphological description and photographs of this newly naturalized species have been provided to facilitate identification.

    Law-bubulu
    (Taiwan Museum Foundation, 2022-11-17) Li Zining
    This exhibition, "The Precious of Rukai People, Homecoming Exhibition of Early Artifacts of the Budai Co he Collection of NTM," consists of 110 items. They from three different sources, including NTM (64 pcs), Rukai Museum of Budai County (32 pcs), and local villages requisition (14 pcs). This assemblage amounts to be the largest feature exhibition of Rukai artifacts in recent years. Moreover, it's the first homecoming exhibition that aims to embrace traditional Rukai artifacts as the main feature, thus bearing profound significance. The exhibition consists of six main topics pertaining to different aspects of material culture of Rukai people, such as the symbolism of lily, weaponry of men, textiles and decorations made by women, household posts and eves, rattan basketry, and ritual objects. As a result, it highlights the broader spectrum of material culture of Rukai people from different sources, and also emphasizes the values of re-presentation and rediscovery of the conventional wisdom of Rukai people. NTM and Rukai Museum of Budai County have taken four years (2017-21) to collaborate on the planning of this exhibition. It's a rather long process of exhibition-making, relying upon the sharing and exchange of ideas between the local interface and the national museum facility regarding the knowledge of indigenous culture and the experience of approaching relevant objects. This emphasis on equal sharing and the exchange and earning during the whole collaboration process is also noting for this exhibition.

    The Landscape of Historical Memory
    (Hong Kong University Press, 2024-01-02) Kirk A. Denton
    The divide between East Asia’s “Blue Camp” (Nationalist Party) and “Green Camp” (Democratic Progressive Party) has stirred considerable debate about how we should remember Cold War politics in East Asia. Recently, that conversation has been focused on museums. The Landscape of Historical Memory contributes to this ongoing dialogue by analyzing not only the presence of the Blue Camp and the Green Camp in Taiwan’s museums but also the state of these museums over the past three decades. The book also considers political involvement in the establishment, architectural design, and historical narratives of museums within the contexts of museums focused on archaeology, history, war, literature, ethnology, and ecosystems; martyrs’ shrines; and memorial halls. By examining the political narratives that surround Taiwan’s museums, The Landscape of Historical Memory offers readers a compelling exploration of how culture, history, and memory shape identities in Taiwan’s postcolonial landscape, the place of museums in a neoliberal economic climate, and the politics of historical memory in an emergent democracy.
