    This female Tropical Checkered Skipper, (Pyrgus oileus), is actually tiny. It was one of the first butterflies to catch my attention when I moved to Costa Rica. The males are a more contrasting black and white. Very common.

    This is a close up of a Psychotria solitudinum flower. The small tree is covered in small clusters of these blooms which give a little color to the trail edges as they wind through the forest.

    This is a young tarantula of unknown species, (to me). Every night as the sun set this individual would emerge from a crack in the tree and then just wait for a meal to pass by.

    The old one-eyed Puma is still walking the trails. We have had a continuous change in the individuals inhabiting this area over the years, some male, some female and they stay for varying amounts of time. This one has been here for over a year.

    The majority of Costa Rica's orchids, 88%, are epiphytic, they can be found 100 ft up in the canopy. This species, Aspasia epidendroides, is found growing close to the ground. The flowering season was in December so the blooms have now died.

    It is very rare to find a Long-winged Skipper, (Urbanus proteus), that will settle, they normally fly as a blur along the forest paths. It is a widespread species from North, Central and South America.

    A female Micrathyria ocellata momentarily perches on a leaf in a sunfleck within the darkness of a rainforest. It only stayed for a few seconds but enough time to get a photo.

    We are moving into butterfly season. From now until the end of February the number of species and individuals to up exponentially. This is a Pink Cattleheart, (Parides iphidamas), feeding from Lantana.

    Say hello to my little friend. The venom glands on this female Terciopelo, (Bothrops asper), are full to overflowing. This is one reason you don't leave the trails and go bushwhacking through a rainforest.

    One of my favourites, the yellow "Oropel" phase of the Eyelash Viper, (Bothriechis schlegelii). You would think something as brightly colored as this would be easy to spot but not so amongst brightly colored flowerheads.

    Almost forgot !! We don't use lure, but this cat is definitely smelling something... us maybe?

    Razisea spicata is a widely distributed plant from Guatemala to Colombia but I rarely encounter it on the Osa Peninsula. That red certainly stands out against a green background.

    This is a fangtooth, also known as ogrefish 🐟 it’s only been spotted a few times in decades of ocean research.

    Sitting down at the river bank passing some time with a large female American Crocodile, (Crocodylus acutus). They have been known to eat people in Costa Rica but this one didn't seem to mind my presence.

    I don't see many Great Southern Whites, (Ascia monuste), in this area. Like many of the butterfly family Pieridae, the caterpillars feed on plants in the brassica family.

    The distinctive flower of the Burio, (Guatteria chiriquiensis), a small tree found from south west Costa Rica to western Panama. I have not found many of these in this area but once again you can't miss it if it is there.

    A Roadside Hawk, (Rupornis magnirostris), taken with a 100mm macro lens. This species is common around here. As the name suggests they sit at the side of roads or in garden trees waiting for the sign of movement suggest as an unfortunate small lizard.

    FYI - don't touch the spiny caterpillars. This is the larval form of a moth, Automeris postalbida. Those toxin-packed spines, when touched by naked skin, cause a painful reaction known as erucism.
