EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, John Cancalosi captures the incredible defensive display of a Lantern fly (Machaca) in Costa Rica's tropical dry forest. This single insect stands alone, showcasing its remarkable ability to protect itself from predators with an arsenal of bizarre tactics. With eyes that seem to hold secrets of the tropics, this unusual creature uses deception and camouflage as its ultimate defense mechanism. Its lantern-like appearance is not only mesmerizing but also serves as a powerful tool for survival. As if straight out of a sci-fi movie, the Lantern fly's eye-catching features are designed to confuse and deter potential threats. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns create an illusion that leaves onlookers bewildered by its true identity. Hailing from South America, this American beauty has mastered the art of disguise within the dense foliage. Fulgoridae by nature, these hemipterans have adapted perfectly to their tropical habitat, earning them the title "lanthorn flies". So next time you find yourself exploring Costa Rica's lush wilderness, keep your eyes peeled for these extraordinary creatures. Witness firsthand how they transform into living lanterns and become masters of their own protection game!
