Field Notes

Description:

At first I saw a bunch of ants acting weird, it was once again this beautiful ant mimick hopper. Cyphonia sp. So delightful. See my other cyphonia spottings for descriptions and notes.

Notes:

These are the best pics I've been able to take of this amazing creature so far.
