Small mirid bugs, around 4mm in length, were crowded on this one flower. orange in colour with a black patch behind the head; forewings red with a thick black stripe down the centre. They seemed to be feeding of the flower in some way.
Rainforest on the Osa Peninsula, near the Corcovado National Park.

This was the first time I saw something like this.
Wow! I've never seen so many insects on an Arum flower.
Thanks, Lauren.
These look like Mirids.
