I saw vivid and unusual insects (especially butterflies and moths) every single day at Yanayacu. Is there anything on Earth more beautiful and delicate than the wings of insects?
|
See those clear windows in the Atlas moth's wings? |
|
This one is like one of those velvet paintings! |
|
This insect is camouflaged to look like an old leaf. |
|
Those spots are meant to trick predators into thinking the moth has enormous eyes. |
|
This is a moth who mimics a wasp to avoid being eaten. |
|
Moths and butterflies rested on every surface imaginable. |
|
Take a look at this grasshopper's jumping legs! |
|
A well-camouflaged grasshopper. |
|
Rhinoceros beetle with a giant horn. |
|
This moth's wings look like an artist's painting of the solar system. |
|
Take a look that the length of this moth's proboscis |
|
So many of the moths were fuzzy. |
|
I pinned these for the collection. |
|
This photo and the ones below were taken inside a butterfly garden in Quito's Jardin Botanico. |
|
Clear wings! |
|
Gorgeous chrysalis. |
