More creepy crawlies


Here's the gecko. He's very quick and he eats mosquitoes, so I'm happy he's around.


This moth flew into the apartment. It looked more like a bat because of its size.



This cricket was in the reception of the hotel in San Gil we stayed in one night. His body looks like a leaf which would normally be good camouflage, but not here!


A stick insect Horse head Grasshopper (Pseudoproscopia latirostris) at the viewpoint of the Chicamocha Canyon National Park. I wish I'd had a decent close-up of the strange head. It's easy to miss interesting creatures here as they can often, at first glance, appear like something else.


Finally a colourful butterfly on a door of a colonial-style house in historic Barichara.
