Something different today. A little color for us to remember summer :D
Found 4 of these in the plastic sealed container I use for my koi fish food mix.
Think they are larder beetle larvae.
Lepidoptera : Riodinidae
Villeta, Colombia, Junio 2010
Concuerda un poco con el color de las alas de varias otras fotos en Flickr.
Las otras fotos que encontre de mariposas similares (Melanis electron, y otras) fueron tomadas en Venezuela, Ecuador y Brazil, asi que la region tambien concuerda.
O mas parece ser Isapis agyrtus.
Soldier fly Chorisops tibialis. Spotted a small cloud of flies about 12 foot above the ground next to the shrub I see these flies on. Decided to try and net one to find out what it was and it turned out the be one of these soldier flies.
