Flag-Footed Bug and Passionflower

Photograph by Christian Ziegler

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine


A bird zeroing in on a flag-footed bug perched on a passionflower might see the flutter of red "flags"—the insect's attempt to divert the hunter's bite to nonessential limbs, away from its vital core.
Anisocelis flavolineata (insect); Passiflora sp. (flower)









From: National Geographic
