Crickets with very long antennae are very common in Colombia - I wonder if they are to feel their way in the dark?

Colombia has more frog species than any other country on earth - despite that I didn't see that many this time

"Excellent" set of macro/close up style captures David.

"Having had a cotton growing business back home in the USA (TN), weevils for me were a pain in the butt, it used to cost me many bucks every year to get rid of them. I do know that none of these weevil pic's are of "Boll Weevils" that could ruin a years cotton growth in a very short time"

Love that first Weevil, looks like it's made from a little piece of wood.

Yes weevils are annoying how did you control them?

Just with the usual ways of spraying etc, but with cotton you need to be careful not to overspray as that too can ruin the price you get for the crop.
