A friend of mine recently returned from Peru and sent me a series of bug photos. I asked for some more information and added this to the photos below.

I don’t actually have advice to offer, except that you should expect to see these bugs if you decide to visit!

These centipede like things were EVERYwhere in Machu Picchu and I mean everywhere!

These big beetles were similarly prevalent in Aguas Calientes – including on our windowsill ….
