It must be that time of year in Costa Rica - bugs and butterflies galore. Here are some recent bug visitors to our house:
 |
| I almost choked when I saw this huge-eyed bug hanging off my lap top computer early in the morning. It just kept staring at me. I managed to get it outside. |
 |
| This bug is amazing! It was hanging around on our passion fruit vine. It seems to be wearing maritime flags on it's back and it's feet. |
 |
| Another cool bug. |
And regarding butterflies, they often fly into our house and then I am able to cup them into my hands and release them outside. Today I captured a butterfly I have never seen before - I think it was a species of glass wing butterfly - wish I had taken a photo. It was so beautiful.

I thought I was the only one taking photos of bugs! The beetles and butterflies/moths are incredible here. Actually, some of the flies are gorgeous, too. And bees (I got a photo of a purple bumblebee!). Last night a huge, glossy black stag beetle managed to get in the house and I had visions of it in my curio display cabinet...for about a half hour. Then I slid a piece of cardboard under the glass I had put over it and took it outside, never to be seen again (which is how it should be).
Hey Di you could make your own Aliens movie...
Purple bumblebee - beautiful, haven't seen one yet. That's a good way to catch the big bugs and release them outside.
There would be a cast of thousands!
P.S. empty your mailbox!
