julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Leg day every day. This fantastic Coreidae has been lifting some serious weight with its back legs. I don't know the species name, if anyone has knowledge, I'll be very grateful. #macrophotography #insects #Colombia 0110
julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Another impressive example of camouflage (crypsis). This stick grasshopper belongs to the genus Apioscelis. Photographed in the Vaupés rainforest #macrophotography #colombia 060

julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Treehoppers and ants exhibit a classic example of mutualism. As treehoppers feed on phloem sap, they excrete honeydew, which attracts ants. In return, the ants defend them from predators through aggressive behavior. The treehopper species is Membracis mimica #macrophotography #insects 49923
julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Opiliones! Beautiful colors and patterns on this little creature. It was a very cooperative subject and gave me enough time to create a focus-stacked photo. #macrophotography 2383
julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 29/04/2025A beautiful example of camouflage (crypsis). Liturgusa maya, photographed in the Vaupés rainforest. #macrophotography #colombia 160
julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Stylized forms, shimmering textures, and vibrant greens, reds and purples. This Alydidae is truly a graceful and astonishing creature. I believe it belongs to the genus Stenocoris, though I prefer not to confirm it without certainty. Photographed in the Vaupés rainforest. #macrophotography 160
julianlobo.bsky.social @julianlobo.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Hi BlueSky! Portrait of a grasshopper, approximately 9 cm in size. This creature patiently posed, giving me the necessary time to stack several images. I was so excited that I forgot to take a full-body shot... a big mistake if the goal is to identify the species. #macrophotography 050
