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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
