Saw this lovely little bug plodding patiently along a wall at a city park last week. She inspired me!
She's a wingless nymph (sub-adult) in the family Reduviidae.

Read about our stay in two indigenous villages and our fanatical search for the wildlife of southern Africa.

Our travels to biodiversity hot spots
In 2010, Ken and Sally took off for Southeast Asia. Our goal: to investigate the illegal trade in wildlife that's rampant in Southeast Asia, and to see wild orangutans before they face extinction. See my posts from July 2010-Dec 2010. Or click here.
Ken and Sally studied in South Africa in 2007 and 2009 with the Director of OTS, South Africa. We learned so much about the threats to wildlife in southern Africa. We especially treasured our studies in two indigenous villages, where residents struggle to make ends meet with dwindling resources. Read our posts for info about planning your own visit or contact Sally directly at sally.kneidel@gmail.com for help with planning your trip.
Sally, Sadie, Ken and Alan spent a couple of months in the Amazon and the Peruvian Andes in 2008. Check out our posts about the indigenous people, places, hikes, and wildlife of Peru. We planned the stay ourselves and can help you plan a similar stay. Our Peru posts of July-October 2008 all have recommendations for bird guides, nature guides, a travel agent, buslines, taxi drivers, biological stations, and inexpensive hostels where we stayed - with contact information for all.
