Hola, My husband and I moved to Costa Rica a year and a half ago. We spend a lot of time photographing animals, wildlife and insects. Here is an interesting neon orange bug we came across with an interesting pattern. Any idea what kind of bug this is? We took this photo near the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica on the Pacific side. Gracias!

Dear Kari,
This spectacular insect goes by the very descriptive name Flag Footed Bug, Anisocelis flavolineata.
Thank you so much for the quick reply!
Kari
the name es Anisoscelis flavolineata of the family Coreidae and can be found in Honduras I’ve also seen here 🙂

It is the same as the title of the posting: Flag Footed Bug from Costa Rica.
