This fabulous little treehopper will be published in an upcoming scientific paper! Have I said I love @inaturalist.bsky.social ? It's so great for connecting scientists to observations. #invert

The non-avian highlight of our Ecuador trip so far, was spending half an hour this morning watching two Spectacled Bears near the Papallacta Pass. I suspect it won't be surpassed.

An adorable potato of a bird that runs or hops along the ground, the Chestnut-winged Cinclodes. This bird is found in the high montane scrubland of the Andes Mountains. It seems not much is known about its diet, but it's thought to feed on insects.
Papallacta, Ecuador 🌿🧪🪶
A round bird with a light tan belly, white chin, white brow stripe, small black bill, and a brown head and wings. It is standing on muddy ground dotted with shrubs.

Tortoise beetles in various stages of development. The shiny colorful one is what the adults look like, the pale ones and the one with red have not fully filled in their color yet. The green critter at the top is a larva with a poop shield!
Papallacta, Ecuador
A very eaten leaf with 8 tortoise beetles on it in various stages of development. The larva at the top is green with fronds sticking out the sides and a pile of poop on top. The other 7 beetles are in adult form, but at various stages of exoskeleton color development - 3 are translucent white, one is red, and three are in stages of iridescent metallic green.

A large, dark-colored bird dives, flipped almost upside-down, between two mountainsides sloping down from the left. The distant mountain is obscured in mist, and the near one grassy.

A5. I have hiked around Papallacta Pass in Andes of Ecuador, a protected place. Bird trip, of course. It's at least 12,000 ft. Winds were blowing about 30 mph. The drive up is spectacular, and the views are, too. I've done it twice, and I'm ready to go back. #ParkChat

Papallacta (land of the potatoes) also is famous for its hotsprings. They're heated by the neighboring, and 4th tallest volcano, Antisana.

Two chicken-like birds rest atop a flat boulder in an alpine meadow. Their feathers are varying shades of brown, from pale tans to rufous; mostly edged with black, but their wing feathers reverse this to black edged with white.
