Into the green void - a cicadellid nymph advertises its unpalatability with vibrant colours:
A colourful land planarian slides along the forest floor on a bed of slime, its eversible stomach ready to engulf any soft-bodied prey it might come across:
A katydid moults, its incredibly long and delicate antennae dangling:
A spiny orbweaver (Micrathena sp.) with long abdominal horns:
A huntsman spider catches a damselfly which skims the surface of a pond, itself looking for prey, like gnats or newly emerging mosquitoes:
A spectacled forest viper (Bothriopsis taeniata) glistens gold:
A jaguar (Panthera onca), shrouded in myth and mystery recedes into the shadows of the night, an emblem of the rainforest:
Thanks for looking and commenting,
