Eris Militaris, I believe it was a male because the thorax was slimmer. I watched this spider stalk a little gnat that kept on landing on the same 3 leaves including this one. Everytime the spider got close the gnat would fly to another leaf. In this instance the spider had decided to ambush it by closing the distance on the other side of the leaf (very smart.) but the gnat had already flown away by the time he peaked over the leaf. I’m sure he didn’t go hungry though, he was too persistent.

Wide-footed Treehopper (Enchenopa latipes)...they do move in herds 🥹🤣
I know it's no secret how obsessed I am with these hoppers, so much in fact that I'm about to become the top observer for them globally on @inaturalistorg and will not be stopped because I can't get enough of them! 🤪🦕
#treehoppertuesday anyone?

Also I really need a @cygnustech or something 😭
