Monster Bugs

     Costa Rica is an amazing and beautiful country.  I am constantly in awe at the diversity surrounding us.   Living in Costa Rica, we have the most breathtaking scenery.  We have endless rivers to frolic in.  The evenings are full of music from all the life surrounding us.  Oh, and these...

     Monday, while doing yard work, we ran across this snake worm.  He was actually longer than this, but unfortunately he was chopped while digging a ditch.

Now, that's what I call an earth worm.  Dinner anyone?

Thank goodness for the neighborhood kids who helped him out the door.

Sure little dude, you can just hang out with us...

I think he is from Panama, with the camouflage and all.

We actually had a pet beetle a little bigger than this.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture before she became one with the earth again.

Instead of "Duck Crossing" signs, we have "Tarantula Crossing".

And this is actually a fairy.  If you don't believe me, watch Pan's Labyrinth.
