Next, four from Costa Rica: a Chaeteesa sp. bark mantis with long spines on its raptorial forelegs; a colorful Dictyopharid planthopper nymph; a pair of mating Nogodinid planthoppers at night, and a tiny silk wasp (Microstigmus adelphus), a totally new creature to me, on its pea-sized nest.
A macro photo, vertical orientation, of the front half of a green and brown, well-camouflaged mantis, head down on mossy tree bark. A macro photo of a colorful planthopper nymph clinging upside-down to a green stem, against a black background. The planthopper has a long snout-like projection from its head. It has red compound eyes and is otherwise multi-colored in reds, turquoise, yellow, and orange. A pair of planthoppers mating on a green stem against a green background. The pale orange insects have mostly clear, flat, rounded, heart-shaped wings with an intricate network of veining. A macro photo, vertical orientation, of a tiny orange wasp clinging to the bottom of a rough-textured, upside-down-"V"-shaped nest. The nest is tan and has a single entrance at the top; above that is a thin stem that attaches it (just above frame) to the underside of a green leaf, like a lumpy little Christmas ornament.
