Artrópodes (Filo Arthropoda)Observador
argybeeDescrição
Approx. 3mm across. On rough eucalyptus bark on a very warm and dry day.. otherwise I would consider a slime mold. Looks a bit 'foamy' with entrapped bubbles. Any suggestions welcome. I have put Protista as a general placeholder.
I'm now considering some egg mass..

Cigarrinhas (Família Cicadellidae)Observador
argybeeDescrição
This little (6m long) hopper nymph drew laughter as it was truly glowing and resembled a living Glo-Stick. Bright, fast and aware I had to chase it around the rough bark but it's glow made it easy to see near dusk.
(our cameras couldn't capture the same glow the human eye saw so this has been manipulated with software to a point that both Leuba and I agree is accurate)
