This week I am sharing a few photos of insects found on the property. This one stuck out like a superhero in a red and black cape. For perspective, the bug is on a blade of grass.

Strange looking insect in Puriscal, Costa Rica
This is one of the more unusual insects I have seen because of the strange appendage protruding from the neck area. The small head with bee like body was also odd.
