Stick Grasshopper (Apioscelis bulbosa), Orito, Colombia Just arriving in Orito, we did a little warm-up macro session in an agricultural area. One of the first awesome finds our local guide Brayan pointed out is this hilarious grasshopper. It&#039;s part of the Proscopiidae family, named Neotropical stick grasshoppers or jumping sticks. As species in this family have no or underdeveloped wings, you can barely tell it to be a grasshopper. <br /> <br /> ID of the species is based on these references:<br /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/2292416655" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/2292416655</a><br /> <a href="http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8495631" rel="nofollow">http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8495631</a><br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/69273/stick_grasshopper_apioscelis_bulbosa_-_top_view_orito_colombia.html" title="Stick Grasshopper (Apioscelis bulbosa) - top view, Orito, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/69273_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=GtcbXLwtDdgOorHyvauPMz4PliA%3D" width="200" height="200" alt="Stick Grasshopper (Apioscelis bulbosa) - top view, Orito, Colombia Just arriving in Orito, we did a little warm-up macro session in an agricultural area.
