An orb weaver spider and her egg sack in the lowland Amazon. Pretty stellar colors 🕷️🕸️
Poor wasp
Hello from a Frog Hopper and a spittle nest I found along the Napo River in Ecuador. All that foam is how the nymph frog hopper keeps itself safe from harm. I love this photo because if you look at the largest bubble you can see the nymph living in there(!!). Tiny little worlds everywhere
Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.
Hola Giant Katydid
Just a murderous fungus having taken over a wasp and compelled it to die in a place advantageous to finding more victims. With its tiny spores floating off through the air in hopes of just one landing on an exoskeleton.. nothing in the rainforest wants anything to do with this little scene here…
Not for cuddling
