EDITORS COMMENTS

With its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, this little arthropod knows how to make a statement! Perched delicately on a flower in Chinambi, Carchi, Ecuador, our mantis friend strikes an impressive defensive position. It's as if it's saying, "I may be small, but I'm not to be messed with!". This striking pose showcases the mantis' ability to blend into its surroundings while simultaneously warning potential predators. Ecuador is known for its rich biodiversity and stunning wildlife. As one of Latin America's many natural treasures, this country never fails to surprise us with its unique inhabitants.

Lucas Bustamante has truly captured a moment that highlights both the beauty and resilience of these fascinating creatures.
