Thorn Bug

Cladonota benitezi (female)

Description:

This species presents a strong dimorphism between male and female. The one shown on the pictures is a female. Here is a wonderful work about membracids: http://www.lightmediation.net/blog/podca...

Notes:

It took me a while, even getting really close, to figure out that this was an insect. I could only spot it because I had seen this species on some pics before. On the third pic you can see how well it blends with de vegetation.
