Euagona juno, a distinctive "true bug" from Peru Some people call these "bull's horn bugs", but I think that refers to more than one species, so I didn't include it as the species common name. Euagona juno,Geotagged,Peru,Summer Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro

Euagona juno, a distinctive "true bug" from Peru

  1. That's hilarious. I figured this was night "front run" as I also have this bug in my upcoming set, but after checking it turns out to be its sibling Euagona diana. Posted 3 years ago
    1. Very similar! I haven't been able to find any records of Euagona juno outside of a very small area in Peru. Euagona diana looks like it has a decent range in Ecuador and iNaturalist also shows some from southern Peru, though those might be misidentified of course. Posted 3 years ago
      1. Here's the other one:
