They look and act like a cross between an ant, a mantis and an ichneumon

Both beautiful and fascinating, thank you!

Oh, and if you do start breeding leafhoppers, please share your experiences. I love those little guys.

@OblongonotaFan321 I just learned about Euglossine bees from a documentary about plant co-evolution, and I'm mesmerized... Have you ever worked with these bees? They're stunning!
