Costa Rica - Night time walks

 

After finding the strawberry frog, I’ve been out searching for critters most evenings.   Armed with my camera, my headlamp, glasses and a flashlight I search the bushes and trees for creepy crawly things.  

 

The snake above was nestled in a tree at about eye level.  I wasn’t expecting to find any snakes, but was careful on my search anyway.  I went back later to take some more photos and it had slithered off to find a meal.  It’s a rat snake, and mostly non- venomous.  Okaaay.

 

There are water drops on all the grass blades, but some of them seems to blink with a blue light.  As I got closer, the twinking light would stop, and in looking closely, I found spiders, about an inch long!  This one has baby spiders all along the back.

 

 And a huge, one eye moth, about 5” top to bottom of wings, I found earlier in the afternoon.
