[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Order (Orden): Hemiptera, Sub-Order: Heteroptera

All the insects in the Heteroptera suborder have a biting sucking apparatus in their mouths that they use to suck from plants or animals.
This photo is not too sharp but the insect is so strange that it was worth to share.
Size of the body aprox. 20 mm
Taken in jpeg, cropped and resized. No flash, no tripod. Shutter speed: 1/50 sec., Aperture: F2.8, ISO 100.

Los colores y la forma de las patas de este insecto del suborden Heteroptera son de un colorido impresionante, no logre una foto súper bien enfocada pero por lo extraño creo que vale la pena compartirla.

Place: Parcelación El Hato, San Jerónimo, Antioquia.
Date: jun 11 2006

Hallo Juan,
thank you for sharing this nice picture of this interesting insect. By your postings from Colombia you add to our feeling of the broad diversity of animal structures and colours.
- A well composed picture.
The species you show probably belongs to the genus ANISOCELES (Blattfußwanzen in German).

Que insecto Juan, una preciosidad, nunca lo habia visto ese. Me que do alucinando con sus patas. De esos insectos complicados de elegir el angulo de foto, me gustaria verlo de cara pero quizas se perderia el detalle de la espalda. El contraste coloo con el fondo favorece el momento de la lectura foto sin duda. De enfoque la veo bien, facil no lo era de fotografiar visto sus dimensiones. Para mi es una foto excelente. Un saludo

Que belleza de insecto, que envidia!!!
Haces un buen trabajo bajando hasta 1/50 para no poner flash, aprovechas muy bien la luz guardando el aspecto natural.
Buen pulso, amigo.
Gracias por traernos estos insectos tan bonitos y espectaculares.

Hola Juan
yes, it's a nice leaf-footed bug, Anisoscelis sp. (genus also known as Diactor) [not "Anisoceles"]
greetings from Panama
