Peter,
I had no intention of showing your picture a 3rd time, but it simply deservescthat sustained attention!
This is something one might imagine conjured up for a Disneyland fun insect parade to entertain us all!
So who is this creature entertaining? This is a magnificent investment in coloring. Reminds me of amazing differentiation of related hummingbirds just on the other side of a rain Forrest mountain!
...and what is the evolutionary competitive benefit to us, recognizing this creature at a glance and perceiving this as “amazingly exquisite”, as we all seem to respond reflexly with this same feeling?
Is it poisonous perhaps and the distinctive pattern is a warning?
