Sometimes I visit other planets. On Beta Carotene, everyone is invisible because they eat so many carrots.

My first stopover was in Paracas, where I stayed for a few days. I got off the bus early in the morning, where a friendly taxi driver greeted me directly. Actually, I wanted to walk, but the price was too cheap to say no. We drove along the paved road. I had no idea what kind of area my hostel was in. When we left the paved road and drove through a slum populated by stray dogs, I thought this was just the way to the hostel. But we stopped in the middle of it. I lit a cigarette and let the impression sink. After a few puffs Nicolas came out the door and greeted me warmly. I was 4 hours early but that wasn't a problem. His wife Mary immediately made me a fresh breakfast while Nicolas prepared my room. It was a very nice and maintained hostel. Not for high standards, but with a lot of love and attention. The first impression of Paracas immediately lost importance and I was glad to have such a nice accommodation. Tourism in Peru is just beginning to develop. But that's also its special charm.

My new roommate "Piñata DeBicho"! 🤗
It's a conehead mantis (Empusa pennata).
But you shouldn't believe everything. ☝
There is also some evidence that it comes from the planet Remulak! 👾🚀
Who cares! Just let the little conqueror march a bit! 😍

World domination is just a nap away! We put our heads together and make our dreams come true! There is so much strength in serenity. Why climb the tree, when the apple falls down anyway? The principle of inertia, as a universal law, reveals the true destiny of all being. You don't need to come to the sloth side of power, just let it happen!

I spent a day more in Aguas Calientes than planned. I actually wanted to go to Santa Teresa first, but I fell asleep during the trip and when I was in Hidroeléctrica, I just hiked right over the tracks to Aguas Calientes. There is a small thermal bath, which did my sore muscles very well. It wasn't very crowded, so I had my peace. In Santa Teresa there is also a thermal bath, which is larger, but I didn't like it so much.

My friend is back and finally grown up! 😌
Of course you can drink my tasty sweat, you must be very thirsty! 😅🤗

Based on the nymphs that have occurred so far, you couldn't really say anything about the species. Netherless, my suspicion was already in the direction of Planuncus tingitanus s.l., because they are often found near houses. Ectobius vittiventris also accidentally gets into homes due to massive outbreaks caused by hot and dry summers. However, the wings of E. vittiventris are always longer than the abdomen. So I'm probably right with P. tingitanus .


By the way, it's not the worst idea to offer drinking opportunities in this heat. There are plenty of ways to make this possible. On the Internet you will find many crafting instructions for insect watering places. 🍹🐝
