More from Mocoa in Colombia

I am not putting them all here, there are too many. I think I took (still sorting them out) about 60 photos of 30 species in 2 days, plus a few more with the Canon MPE65 that I have not even put on the PC. There are lots from other places I have not looked at yet.

Another good set David. The clarity looks particularly good for #2 and #3 (which is a fascinating looking animal). As to the ant, I've seen an ant chasing a wasp away, apparently freaking it out, so they are not necessarily foes to mess with despite radical differences in size.

Thanks that stick insect is the commonest genus in Colombia, sadly they are very hard to see in the day - that was only the 3rd I have ever seen during the day - and it was on a window (not a great disguise). Looking at night can be tricky due to transport difficulties.

Interesting point about the ant - did you get a photograph?

Unfortunately not, for reasons explained in this post in my journey thread.
