Anyone recognize this insect?
As I was feeding the chickens, this remarkable creature crawled past my line of vision.
I, accidentally, knocked over the chicken feed in a rush to take a picture of the colorful insect?
Initially, at a distance, I thought it might be a scorpion —we’ve been visited by a few of those.
But on closer inspection, realized it was too small and colorful to be that!
Has anyone out there seen anything like it?
My instinct, in the past, has been to pick up such marvelous looking creatures to better study them.
But, after handling a poisonous African snail, in a beautiful giant shell, I’ve been more wary…
Here’s another mysterious and rather elegant creature that we encountered, earlier:
Doesn’t it look like it’s all dressed up to attend some significant cultural event 😊
It’s a wild world in the countryside of Colombia.
I wonder if you could use Image Search to identify that creature.
Google has one and this is the Help page for it:

I use Bing for my searches since I'm in their reward program. https://rewards.bing.com/

I'm not a big fan of bug pics but the last photo in this post is quite scenic! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks, for those leads. Even creepy crawlers have their share of beauty… Micro/macrocosm—enchanted world!
