| a fly, outside ruins of san ignacio |
 |
| scarab beetle |
 |
| ant hill. Notice the red dirt. |
 |
| look at them ants |
 |
| little ants dragging a big dead ant back to the nest |
 |
| lizard hanging out in the cracks of the walls of the ruins |
 |
| termite hill. Some people freaked out, like "what the hell kind of termites live in THAT?!?" lol |
 |
| ant on a tree, with a yellow |
 |
| This is difficult to see, but there were these little tiny yellow wasps, and their nest is in the crack in this tree. |
 |
| some kind of green insect we found on a bench |
 |
| a chill dog, sleeping under the bench |
 |
| This was a bird on a powerline by the estancia. I didn´t get a picture of it, but it is really cool because it has TWO TAILS. Both the same length. |
 |
| big caterpillar on a leaf at the mate processing factory |
 |
| dead wasp/flying insect, with itty bitty ants trying to figure out how to bring it home |
 |
| sorry for the blurry, but this was another caterpillar, in the national park. |
 |
| a good picture of it |
 |
| bullet ant hill. These are ants that have a |
 |
| pretty butterfly |
 |
| Here it is: the monstrous, fantastic bullet ant! These things were ENORMOUS. |
 |
| a bird. I was all excited, but there were tons of signs saying not to feed this type of bird, so I guess it´s fairly friendly and common. Still, it´s gorgeous. |
 |
| this was one of those swallow-type birds that live on the cliffs by the waterfalls. Ooh, exciting. |
 |
| an AWESOME mariposa (which means moth AND butterfly in Spanish) |
 |
| look at that gorgeous face! |
 |
| lizard. I believe it´s an iguana, if I remember correctly. Notice how the tail is a different color; obviously this guy lost his tail and had to grow it back. |
 |
| stick bug! |
 |
| he was really fast, I had a bunch of pictures of stick butts and stick motion blurs. |
 |
| This is hard to see: I thought it was some kind of moss or lichen, then I noticed it had moved! It´s some kind of insect, disguised as something that isn´t an insect! |
 |
| close up. |
 |
| this was the ochentayocho butterfly, so called because it has an 88 on its wings. Although, this one has like an 80. xD |
 |
| This guy just sat on this kid´s finger, drinking the sweat. |
 |
| our first coati! These were basically the raccoons of the rain forest, only they were more like squirrels on U of Chicago´s campus, in that they would openly wander around and try to steal food from people or eat the scraps or garbage. There were all sorts of signs, "these are wild animals, don´t feed them, they will bite you." |
 |
| not a bullet ant, but also some kind of large ant |
 |
| I think that pink thing in the upper right is someone´s finger, I don´t remember. |
 |
| shiny greenish-blackish ant. |
 |
| another lizard |
 |
| This was cool: a giant tree, with these strange little round fruit on it, and HUGE leaves. Not sure why it´s in the animals/insects file... oh well |
 |
| shiny bluish-purplish beetle on the underside. It was upside down... |
 |
| ...so I put it right side up again. And the back is more of a greenish-yellow. |
 |
| another one of those black and yellow ants. |
 |
| This was at the hotel, on the steps leading to the garden. There was some sort of flying beetle, maybe a cockroach, but it had been injured and was flailing around. |
 |
| This was in the forest by the Guarani village. It´s a jumping spider! It was pretty awesome. |
 |
| I think there´s something in the lower right, but the light is crappy on this picture. Sorry! |
 |
| another stick bug |
