Costa Rican wildlife

I'd been in Costa Rica about five hours the first time I heard it. It resembles a baby's cough, but hackier (that's TOTALLY a word). Or someone tapping a pen six or seven times on a desk. It's metallic, and it's not very loud, but is certainly noticeable. I tried for 8 days to capture the sound on my camera, to no avail. What could possibly make this sound, you ask?!? A gecko. Apparently they're vocal...huh.


On my first night in Costa Rica, we stumbled upon this, the most monstrous moth I've EVER seen...in Rob's house:
the beer can's for scale, not because we were trying to get it drunk. i only do that to my cat. duh.

Along my trip, other fun creatures popped up at INCAE...

I love leafcutter ants...they're so funny. and fast as hell.

this little guy was starting his cocoon right on the wall of Rob's little casa

annnnnd this one's for Summer. no joke...they've got squirrels in Costa Rica...you scared?

    That squirrel's been running through blood, so yes, yes I am horrified. It probably just finished a murdurous bender during which is helicopter whipped peopled with it's disease ridden tail. SICK.

    Wtf. Apparently I typed that entire thing while hammered and proceeded to misspell 94% of it. Geez.
