This insects like the gaps, I have seen them at sea level but the last time I found one at 500 meters of elevation, and one time in a cloud forest 1500 meters.
this insect, specializes in hunting spiders, it can fly in all directions, including vertically and backwards. that way, it can catch spiders on the web and fly without getting trapped
beautiful!
