Again, not everybody's favourite creature but I find them interesting. This is one of several species of Bark Scorpion in the area. I have been stung a good few times by these. It's painful but not life threatening.
A large treefrog, the Gladiator Frog, (Hypsiboas rosenbergi), is a mud-puddle nester. The male makes a mud-ringed puddle at the edge of a pond. He calls to attract a female who lays eggs in the puddle where they float on the surface.
A native of West Africa, the King's Mantle, (Thunbergia erecta), is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions which, along with its vibrant flowers, make it a popular garden plant in many parts of the world.
The aptly named Cauliflower Fungus. Can be a parasite or saprophyte growing at the bases of hardwood trees. Fairly common throughout the forest.
In 22 years this white-lipped mud turtle (Kinosternon leucostomum) was the only one I ever encountered in the forest. Mind, to my eye the lips look kind of yellow.
Your average malacologist would probably be disappointed by a trip to tropical rainforest. The terrestrial gastropods are more noticeable by their absence. Those that are occasionally found tend to be small, with paper thin translucent shells.
The White-faced Capuchin is a widespread and locally common monkey. You will encounter it everywhere from the beach to the depths of the forest. It is an omnivore with a fairly cosmopolitan diet, everything from catching toucans to insects to fruit.
It's as if the people of Granada had received a gift of a gallon of each hue from a large paint manufacturer and proceeded the colour the whole of the city.
Eight weeks and counting before I'm back in my happy place, Granada, Nicaragua on the coast of Lago Cocibolca.
Assassin bugs are fiercely predaceous carnivores. If you look closely at the photograph you will see protruding from the front of the head a long, segmented beak that is normally held beneath the head and thorax. The assassin stabs the dagger-like beak into the prey.
Bird's Nest Fungus, (Cyanthus striatus). These are actually minute, you wouldn't even notice them unless looking for them. The "eggs" are spore capsules which get thrown out of the "nest" when hit by a raindrop.
Throughout 22 years, this was the only Square-backed Crab, (Armases sp), that I found in the forest. They are terrestrial crabs that have to return to water to reproduce. This one I found part way up a tree.
Vultures, in this case a Black Vulture, are not everyone's favourite bird. Not mine either but nor do I dislike them, in fact I find them rather endearing.
When a master of aerial predation meets a master of snare entrapment there is only one outcome. This Roseate Skimmer dragonfly found itself caught in the web of a Golden Orb Spider. The silken threads have the tensile quality half that of fine steel and are coated in super glue
With a widespread distribution and locally common, if you keep your eyes on the ground you are bound to see one of these visibly obvious and unimaginatively named Black and Green Poison Dart Frogs.
Face to face with a Boa. Actually this 5' specimen did not seem to mind the proximity of my camera, it just hung from a branch while I snapped away.
One animal that you won't find too often in a rainforest are the land snails. This is due to lower levels of calcium in the soils. However, you might occasionally stumble across one as I did with this Glandina sp.
Costa Rica has a very diverse bat fauna, 111 species in total of which 80 species live on the Osa Peninsula. It is not always easy to identify a bat in the field but some bats are distinctive such as this Greater White-lined Bat, (Saccopteryx bilineata).
Many towns in Central and South America are colourful but Granada in Nicaragua is one of the most vibrant I have visited.
In we go. This is the entrance to the castle. Above the arch are two peepholes from which the castle guard could observe those below. The bricks, made from locally quarried sandstone, have been sculpted by the wind over over the past 700 years.
