This was a bucket list encounter in Monteverde, Costa Rica this week. Can you spot it from the first image? It’s one of the most remarkable disguises in all of nature, the moss mimic stick insect.

These are moths trying to mate with a spider! As you can guess, not a good idea for a moth to do... so why do they do it? The spider has a (smelly) trick
