Arachnoscelis magnifica, a predaceous katydid (Orthoptera:
Tettigoniidae), on a leaf in the San Lorenzo forest of Panama. This
attractive insect
is but one of the ~25,000 arthropod species
likely to live in this 6000-hectare forest, confirming the formidable
diversity
of arthropods, which appears to be 300 times
that of mammals in tropical rainforests.
