iridescent nymph, I spotted this near two other insects, so I'm not sure which one it is a nymph of, if any.
semi arid dry tropical forest
I spotted this near my 2 other spottings, all on the same plant in the Tatacoa desert.
The other two insects look like beetles, one a Chrysomelid and the other looks like a Cantharid (the one closest to the nymph). What a spectacular nymph it is too.
Thanks Wilson, Mona and Sckel. Kel, I will let you know if I find out the name of this plant. There were a lot of insects on it.
