Amata? Very widespread and abundant |
Last month I saw a number of colorful bugs while away. Unfortunately, due to being in a severe rush I could barely look at most of them for more than a few minutes

Medium-sized gregarious leafbeetle |

Clanis bilineata pair |
 |
Stag |

Dying giant longhorn |
Other finds included some sort of giant brown starry-specked pentatomid-y truebug, flat millipedes with rose-colored bands, and tons of squished giant gold-green carabids (
Carabus?). I also managed to see living bristletails and tiger beetles for the first time in my life.
The sheer biodiversity was quite strange, because I most certainly was not camping in the middle of a South American rainforest. In fact, the orange moth was living in a world of inescapable tobacco fumes.
