Field Notes

Description:

Strange orange bug with good flight abilities. No visible ocelli, which was a surprise.

Habitat:

Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 900m.

Notes:

A fairly approachable subject with stealth and patience. Difficult color for the camera, best to under expose by one full stop.

Cindy - Done, although I am not so sure the post meets the requirements of the mission. Very little information on my post, but I am useless at plants :) Dave
