I tried to find the name of this bug, but there are many species in the universe of insects...

Strange colorful bright transparent looking insect. Seen at eagle lake park in Largo, FL

This one's been doing great damage to the hibiscus, but providing some good photo ops. Yesterday I learned that those brown depressions on the forelegs are tympana - hearing organs. They hear with their legs!

Thanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much.

I was walking in Heartwood Forest in Sandridge and spotted this beautiful dragonfly hovering over a pond. I have tried to photograph dragonflies in flight before with no luck as they tend to dart about - hence the name I guess! On this occasion I got lucky.

Everglades National Park, Florida

I have absolutely no idea what kind of insect this is, only that it is rather scary looking and appears to be not of this world!
