Wonderbug?!?
This has to be one of the weirdest looking critters I've ever photographed. I think it's a leafhopper nymph a positive ID off anyone would be great! It was very small and a thought it was a bit of feather on a leaf until I got the MP-E lens on it. You couldn't really avoid the black background on these images like you can in the UK as the overall area was generally fairly dark. Either way you can still make out the crazy critter!
Taken at Esquinas Lodge in the rainforest of Costa Rica.
