A peacock katydid (Pterochroza ocellata) with wings spread wide displays large, eye-like patterns in pink, black, and turquoise tones, standing on leaf litter on the forest floor, the rear of its body facing the camera.
My son & I just completed the incredible Evolution Tour 2025 hosted and led by the amazing @scibugs.bsky.social and @statedclearly.bsky.social. We experienced and learned a ton, met some awesome new friends, and got to play a small part in protecting our precious Amazon rainforest. #EvoTour2025 🪲🐜🐛
