I keep a supply in my back yard.Yeah, the big one IS still there on the wall above my desk.Unlike ants who generally are an annoyance, there are spiders here who can give a nasty bite. I have lived in 5 different areas of Costa Rica for over a month at a time - some 4-6 months, and currently almost a year where we are now.
We have had an ongoing ant war for a bit over three years, and we are not winning. They love my bathroom and every day there is a little straight line of them busily going somewhere (perhaps the coffee maker). Saying that, my son's girlfriend says she found a tarantula in the garage a few weeks ago. The swollen face and painful yips are ample proof she found one in the garden (or the bedroom). Fer-de-Lance Snake. Hmmm! Many millipedes and I think centipedes DO have a venomous bite as my dog can attest when trying to add a bit of protein to her diet. The fer-de-lance bites several hundred people each year in Costa Rica, mostly those agricultural workers who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course this list contains a snake (full disclosure: it is actually snakes since … Happily, these are not generally found in the San José area where I live but are more often found in the beach and rain forest areas where the temps are much higher. My wife, having lived with ants all her life is a bit more philosophic. Jellyfish & Bull Sharks. So you moms out there, be open minded when your offspring as if they can keep it!A general note though. I’ve probably taken a thousand shots of morpho butterflies in flight both in the wild and in butterfly garden enclosures and still don’t have a really good one.Click on the thumbnails for a more detailed description, location and larger images. Still, anything that can squeeze me tighter than my wife is never going to be on my favorite things list.The fer-de-lance (pictured right) is absolutely deadly, and even if you survive, it inflicts a permanent necrosis to tissue that can be life crippling. You are in the tropics, and if you don't know what something is, best to leave it alone.Now, as an UPDATE to this page, I almost DID awaken to find this fellow (or maybe one of his close relatives) on my pillow thanks to my new and bug loving wifey! Costa Rica Insects; Print Costa Rica Insects All 394; Taxonomy; 4 Cockroaches and Termites Order Blattodea; 42 Beetles Order Coleoptera; 4 Flies Order Diptera; 52 True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and Allies Order Hemiptera; 10 Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies Order Hymenoptera; The Serpentario de Costa Rica which is still on many web sites and in almost all travel books was closed a few years ago. See our Oh, and you'll be happy to know that these babies apparently make fine pets! There are at least two serpentariums here is Costa Rica.
These fellows may serve some useful purpose, but as I don't want to step on one in the night, I send them to their maker.Unless you know your caterpillars, I would suggest leaving them alone while in Costa Rica and especially if you are near the high temperature - high humidity areas. Whether coming here for a visit or to live, I absolutely guarantee that you will be introduced to a wide variety of creepy crawlies. Give it some bark or cover. Painful but not fatal. They may be kept in a glass or plastic aquarium tank. One nice thing is that they do not seem to bite, unlike the nasty little fellows in my back yard (patio) who give a nasty bite that burns and itches. They come in all sizes. I open a kitchen cupboard and there they are. Costa Rica Insect Company is the leading insect based food producer in Central America, and has the purpose of creating healthy and sustanaible solutions. Insects, spiders and other bugs and creepy crawlies are one of my favorite photographic subjects in Costa Rica.Bugs aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when the topic of wildlife comes up but if you look closely the mantis, walking sticks, ants, butterflies, bees, katydids and even roaches are fascinating and often beautiful.Insects are also often quite easy to photograph so since we’re not professionals and don’t have thirty pound telephoto zoom lenses to get that perfect shot of a king vulture half a mile up in the sky we get a lot of bug pictures. Bugs aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when the topic of wildlife comes up but if you look closely the mantis, walking sticks, ants, butterflies, bees, katydids and even roaches are fascinating and often beautiful.
Spiders are generally shy and unless you are in their environment and getting in their little faces, this is not a big deal. Just a few weeks ago, while scuba diving, a friend received a really painful sting on his leg from a scorpion that felt the wet suit was a fine place to visit. I am not particularly fond of spiders. I won, but it took about 31 smacks with my shoe to do it. Be careful.Visually Impaired?
