Darien Life

The Darien is very remote and abounds with great diversity of life. Here is a small sample of the variety of plants and animals seen during the week visit. I have tried to give the names of things in the photos. If anyone recognizes the species depicted, I would appreciate knowing--you may use the comment form.

Fungus? Larva?

Neither.

It's an Hemipteran Bug that produces waxy strands as a protection (or camouflage) against predators.
