Happy New Year to everybody on TN.
Here is a little quiz for you. How many different insects can you count on this flower? Many individuals, for sure, and many different orders too.
The large black and orange butterfly is, I am fairly sure, Altinote hilaris desmiala, Jordan, 1913. All the others remain mysteries to me, so perhaps you can help. Surely somebody can ID the clearwing moth!
Anyway, I thought you might like this as it gives a good idea of the fine array of insects that can be drawn by a single flower in the right place at the right time.
The photo hand held in fairly dull light. Cropped a little for TN. Taken at 2,300m elevation on the Bellavista Reserve west of Quito. Cheers.
