Bug of the day

[xpatico]

Hey all,
I've been wanting to share some of the great creatures found here in
Costa Rica. This is the first of a regular series of bug photographs I'd like to show. It's not really a scholarly effort but just some of the really cool critters running around. Have fun

Pretty cool. Do you have a larger image to show more detail? Some bugs are so cool looking.

I suppose it is pretty obvious, insects being some of the smallest and therefore most vulnerable creatures but nonetheless it never ceases to amaze me the amount of different types of camouflage they create in order to protect them selves. Great idea for a thread and I look forward to more of your pics.http://img.thegearpage.net/board/images/icons/icon14.gif
