I don't suppose you got a shot with the wings open or a shot of the head, did you? Evans and Hogue describe Z. truncaticeps as having a black abdomen from above and brown (not orange) areas around the mouthparts. As far as I can tell there aren't any pics of Z. truncaticeps on the web, so if this is what it is it would be a cool contribution. Given the range desc. in Evans and Hogue I think this could be either.
Very cool. I observed something similar at Chicaque last week: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/.... Can you recommend any resources for identifying species in this genus?
Some kind of sphinx moth. This would be my guess: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/speci...
This looks more like a Red-shouldered Hawk to me. Bit hard to say for sure from this photo, though.
Looks like some kind of red mite, maybe family Trombidiidae.
Thanks. Wish I could figure out how to actually associate it with the right species!
