Yolanda tells me she thinks this beautiful insect is a “Chinche” and that it has a strong odor.  I took pictures of it for several minutes and even somehow disengaged the flower it was on so it fell to the ground and it still didn’t present its odor, so I can only guess it enjoyed the attention.  This is one to enlarge.  Just click on it! Oh, Of course the flower is the ubiquitous bougainvillea!  I have them in every color and size all over my property!

More gorgeous flowers!  http://ceenphotography.com/2015/09/21/flower-of-the-day-september-21-2015-dahlias/
