I&#8217;d like it to be the case that this international bug of mystery with so many hits on his belt is keeping its identity secret for stealthiness purposes.
But the fact it that I just don&#8217;t know what it is :D
You&#8217;d think that a bug with such striking features as this one would be pretty easy [...]]]></description>

Aren&#8217;t these babies cute?
These are Fulgoroidea, or plant hoppers. When you&#8217;re walking on the grass, you can often see several of these jumping away at every step. They are very fun to play with.





They&#8217;re in the Hemiptera family, along with cicadas, aphids and true bugs. The characteristic that distinguishes them is that Y shaped vein [...]]]></description>

Nature does seem a little frivolous every now and then. Sometimes it chooses to paint pink spots on a longhorn&#8217;s back.





It is beautiful, but probably not frivolous. She always does it for a reason.
Thanks again to Enmos for identifying it down to the species. You rock.

My dear friend Enmos spent hours trying to find out the species of this longhorn beetle I posted this week.
Here&#8217;s what he wrote:
I&#8217;m pretty sure I got it down to the genus (the longhorn beetle with the green/yellow stripes/spots)
It has got to be of the genus Ambonus! :D
Images of some species from this genus:

In case you are wondering, that is not a mini hand. This moths&#8217; wingspan was of about 18 cm (7 in).
With butterflies and moths, it is pretty easy to tell if it is a male or a female. In this species, the female has a white stripe going from one wing to the other, and [...]]]></description>

Hymenoptera is the order of all of those ant, wasp, bee looking bugs, including the weirder ones like wood wasps and sawflies. Then, inside of this order there is the superfamily Vespoidea. Both ants and velvet ants are in this subfamily. 
BUT, ants are in the family Formicidae, and velvet ants have their very own [...]]]></description>

I do know that this little bastard was chewing on my tomato plants!

My brother took this picture in our kitchen in Sao Paulo. (It was my camera, so it&#8217;s ok for me to post :p).
This is another one of those wood chopping longhorn beetles, whose exact species I am never able to identify.
There must be people out there who are much better at identifying beetles than I [...]]]></description>

This cute little moth was resting in our bathroom in Sao Paulo. 
It is not a very usual moth to find over there, and I never knew much about it until last night when I was cropping this picture and decided to look it up.
