Jungle Insects: Familiar, Just Bigger



This jungle is full, and I mean FULL of interesting bugs.  Some of them are quite beautiful and some are very menacing.  And sometimes they look just like bugs we have in the New England, but much bigger.  This one found it's way into Bill's office yesterday.  David put his hand next to it for scale.  I have seen locusts down here that are bigger than this, but this is a decent size for a grasshopper.  Here this kind is called an "Esperanza" and when you see one you get to make a wish.
