So alien and cool looking. Great spotting!
No encontre una forma mas excacta de describirlo :)
Jajaja, que risa tu descripción ;)
La pare inferior era muy parecida a la de una hormiga y los he visto solo bajo las piedras de los rios
Podría ser un carcaj. Hay insectos que para protegerse se construyen una funda, puede ser de palitos, hojas, piedras. Existe la mosca de carcaj, pero hormiga no lo sé
