Field Notes

Description:

We were on the River Tarcoles when this little clear winged insect hitched a ride with one of our group.

Habitat:

landed on a camera in our boat group - my thanks to the fellow traveler who patiently let us all snap shots of this while all around us where caracaras, egrets and crocs all wanting to be photographed!

I never grew "out of bugs" so this spotting is one of my favorites for the trip, despite the many cool things we encountered
