Here are some pictures of insects, reptiles, amphibians and arachnids that I've taken during my trip in Costa Rica.
Guanacaste, Costa Rica:
This region is the most arid in Costa Rica.
First nighttime session near my hotel:
A normal Lycosidae:
A weird looking cricket:
An amblypigid:
Some wasps starting their nest in a leave:
A grasshopper that was right next to the nest:
A Centroides sp., infested by mites. I'm quite sure someone on the boards can identify this species!
The first tarantula found there. It's a mature male, measuring about 2.5''. He had some really nice purple highlights:
Harpaphe haydeniana, yellow-spotted milliped. They were all over the place! Sadly I did not have a diffuser for a better picture!
Micrathena sp.:
Bufo gigantica, a huge toad! He was about a foot long!
This is just the first part of my pictures, there is a lot more to come! So stay tuned for more!
